Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MojoTV at none against Sundance Now's 2. MojoTV also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 15%) and rating (4.5 vs 4.1). Sundance Now's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
