Google TV
Google LLC3.9 out of 5 on Google Play
Best for finding and casting movies and shows across services
Google TV is the most discovery-focused choice of the three. It brings recommendations and a customizable watchlist together, integrates with multiple streaming services, and supports voice search with Google Assistant. Casting from a mobile device is another advantage over BiliBili's anime-first focus and iTunes' Apple media role.
The trade-off is that availability varies by region, and the interface can feel crowded. Some sections show ads, full functionality requires a Google account, and slower connections can lead to buffering.

BiliBili -HD Anime, Videos
BALABOOM PTE. LTD.3.7 out of 5 on Google Play
Best for anime fans and viewers of trending videos
BiliBili has the clearest niche: an extensive anime library alongside trending videos and community features. Its regular content updates and HD video focus make it a more natural pick for anime fans than Google TV's cross-service discovery or iTunes' music and media management.
Its library can be region-locked, and free viewing includes ads. Offline options are limited, buffering can occur, and some premium features require a subscription.

iTunes
Apple4.7 out of 5 on Google Play
Best for Apple users managing music and media
iTunes is the strongest fit for Apple-centered media use, with a broad music library, media organization, and integration with Apple devices. Family sharing is another advantage over Google TV's streaming discovery and BiliBili's anime and video community focus.
Its Apple ID requirement and subscription costs for full features narrow its appeal, while playlist customization is limited. It is also not available as an Android app, making it a poor choice for Android users despite its high Google Play figures.
