The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Adella at 89% against Selecta TV's 17%. Adella also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.7) and ratings volume (71 vs 6). Selecta TV's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
