# Noor Play vs UTV

The clearest difference is rating: Noor Play at 4.5 against UTV's 3.3. Noor Play also leads on ratings volume (9.3K vs 12). UTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Noor Play sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. UTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

Noor Play holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Noor Play has 9.3K ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 34% and 33% positive.

Noor Play ships an update monthly, UTV every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
