# Infuse vs NetTV

The clearest difference is monetization model: NetTV at free against Infuse's free with in-app purchases. NetTV also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). Infuse's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (29K vs 385). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infuse sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and NetTV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Infuse against 4.6 for NetTV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infuse has 29K ratings behind it against 385, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Infuse's written reviews are positive against 58% of NetTV's.

Infuse ships an update fortnightly, NetTV every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
