Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: KMTS at none against Xfinity Stream's shown. KMTS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Xfinity Stream's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and ratings volume (268K vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
