Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Captain Corner at none against Xfinity Stream's shown. Captain Corner also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Xfinity Stream's advantage is chart position (#123 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
