Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cinepoint at 5.0 against FirstMedia's 2.1. Cinepoint also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). FirstMedia's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
