# CATCHPLAY+ vs Fawesome

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Fawesome at none against CATCHPLAY+'s 24. Fawesome also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 114) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CATCHPLAY+ sells 22 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Fawesome asks for nothing beyond the download.

Fawesome holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fawesome has 11K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of CATCHPLAY+'s written reviews are positive against 43% of Fawesome's.

CATCHPLAY+ ships an update every 3 weeks, Fawesome weekly. Both last shipped on October 21, 2026.
