# 电视节目表 vs 电视直播TV

The clearest difference is review sentiment: 电视节目表 at 83% against 电视直播TV's 46%. 电视直播TV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 13). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 电视节目表 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 电视直播TV asks for nothing beyond the download.

电视直播TV holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 电视直播TV has 5.8K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of 电视节目表's written reviews are positive against 46% of 电视直播TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

电视节目表 ships an update every 2 months, 电视直播TV fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
