Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: CoinsTV at none against Heritage Auctions's shown. CoinsTV also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (73% vs 60%). Heritage Auctions's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (5K vs 215). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Heritage Auctions against 4.8 for CoinsTV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Heritage Auctions has 5K ratings behind it against 215, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Heritage Auctions's written reviews are positive against 73% of CoinsTV's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Heritage Auctions ships an update every 6 weeks, CoinsTV every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 5, 2026 respectively.
