Messiah Tv was founded by Dr. Aqsa W Johnson in 2023 to continue the Vision of Bishop Dr. William Johnson (Founding Chairman of Pakistan Gospel Assemblies). He saw two crowds divided by the wall repeating itself in his vision. The first crowd represented those who would be reached by Bishop Johnson and Gospel preachers, the man repeated his message to the second crowd representing the spread of the Gospel through gospel tools such as cassette tapes, DVDs, and Video messages on Tv channels, which could repeat his message word for word to hitherto unreached people. To carry out the vision of Bishop William Johnson his daughter Dr. Aqsa W Johnson started Messiah Tv to reach the unreached community through Christian Tv Channel to fulfill the three-fold vision of Evangelism, Training Leaders, and Church planting.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Messiah Television at none against ARY DIGITAL's shown. Messiah Television also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
