The clearest difference is rating: Simay Azadi TV at 4.7 against Darya's 3.5. Simay Azadi TV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Darya's advantage is ratings volume (286 vs 20) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
