Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Noor Play at 4.5 against Cinemate's 2.7. Noor Play also leads on ratings volume (9.3K vs 11). Cinemate's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noor Play sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Cinemate sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Noor Play holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noor Play has 9.3K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of Noor Play's written reviews are positive against 50% of Cinemate's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Noor Play ships an update monthly, Cinemate every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
