Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShowTracker at none against iTV Shows's 5. ShowTracker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). iTV Shows's advantage is ratings volume (224 vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
