# Here TV vs Tello Films

Here TV and Tello Films both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of Tello Films's written reviews are positive against 14% of Here TV's. Tello Films also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). Here TV's advantage is ratings volume (1.3K vs 134). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Here TV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and Tello Films sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for Here TV against 4.3 for Tello Films. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Here TV has 1.3K ratings behind it against 134, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 14% of Here TV's written reviews are positive against 73% of Tello Films's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
