Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: CMDR at 79% against Warhammer TV's 26%. CMDR also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). Warhammer TV's advantage is ratings volume (3K vs 16). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CMDR sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and Warhammer TV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
CMDR holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Warhammer TV has 3K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of CMDR's written reviews are positive against 26% of Warhammer TV's.
CMDR ships an update every 4 weeks, Warhammer TV every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
