Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Netwatch App at 100% against Alta Video's 40%. Netwatch App also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 17.0). Alta Video's advantage is rating (3.9 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Alta Video holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Alta Video has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Netwatch App's written reviews are positive against 40% of Alta Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
