Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Hopper at none against Sling Kong's 10. Hopper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). Sling Kong's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price there is nothing between them.
