I use both and enjoy Apple TV a lot more. Much more elegant to just grab an app to move like on an iPhone instead of the clunky way Roku does. ATV has folders. A great way to organize your apps. No such feature on Roku. ATV freezes an apps state if you exit to the control center and return. You can quickly go from one app to another and it goes back to whatever show you are watching in the app. With ROKU, you have to scroll back to where the app resides and pretty much restart the app. It won't be right where you left off and you have to dig to find your show again if your app doesn't have a recently watched feature. And there are no games on ROKU. There is no Speedtest app, which I use often when AT&Ttv rudely tells me that MY network seems to be underperforming while their over 2 year beta cloud-vcr is buffering on my Google Fiber network. And ATV is more harmonious with app controls. Closed Caption is always in the same location. With ROKU each app is different and some not present at all and you have to bring dow ROKU's TV settings to trigger CC. Apple TV is pricey for sure, but you can find great deals on gently used ones on Ebay. Picked up a 64G for $125.
