Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Awesome TV at none against India Forums's shown. Awesome TV also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 1) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). India Forums's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 6 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
