# Tabletopia vs TV

The clearest difference is rating: TV at 5.0 against Tabletopia's 2.6. TV also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). Tabletopia's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ratings volume (109 vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Tabletopia asks for nothing beyond the download.

TV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tabletopia has 109 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Tabletopia ships an update every 3 months, TV every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
