Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Hide & Speak at none against Kidoodle.TV's shown. Hide & Speak also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Kidoodle.TV's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (420 vs 34). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
