Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Late Shift at 4.3 against Sauron.tv's 1.0. Late Shift also leads on ratings volume (526 vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). Sauron.tv's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
