# 加国无忧 vs 央视频

The clearest difference is rating: 央视频 at 4.8 against 加国无忧's 3.1. 央视频 also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 19%) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 加国无忧 sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and 央视频 sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

央视频 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 央视频 has 4.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 19% of 加国无忧's written reviews are positive against 52% of 央视频's.

加国无忧 ships an update monthly, 央视频 every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
