# START vs ТУР.ТВ

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ТУР.ТВ at 86% against START's 35%. ТУР.ТВ also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). START's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (204 vs 7). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. START sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. ТУР.ТВ asks for nothing beyond the download.

ТУР.ТВ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: START has 204 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of START's written reviews are positive against 86% of ТУР.ТВ's.

START ships an update fortnightly, ТУР.ТВ every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
