Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MSN at 4.6 against MRTV's 3.7. MSN also leads on review sentiment (38% vs 0%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 10 months). MRTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
