# PetsAge vs Unexpected TV

The clearest difference is rating: Unexpected TV at 4.5 against PetsAge's 3.8. Unexpected TV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (77% vs 45%). PetsAge's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs subscription). On price, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PetsAge sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Unexpected TV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Unexpected TV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unexpected TV has 363 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of PetsAge's written reviews are positive against 77% of Unexpected TV's.

PetsAge ships an update every 2 months, Unexpected TV every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
