Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AnimeWay at none against Television Time's 7. AnimeWay also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Television Time's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (884 vs 14). On price, rating, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
