# TheaterEars vs OFTV

The clearest difference is rating: TheaterEars at 4.9 against OFTV's 2.7. TheaterEars also leads on ratings volume (49K vs 394) and chart position (#116 vs unranked). OFTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TheaterEars sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. OFTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

TheaterEars holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TheaterEars has 49K ratings behind it against 394, so its average is the more settled of the two.
