Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: VidAngel at none against Choosly's shown. VidAngel also leads on chart position (#123 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.4). Choosly's advantage is update cadence (daily vs weekly). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
