# The Zeus Network vs Unexpected TV

The clearest difference is ratings volume: The Zeus Network at 166K against Unexpected TV's 366. The Zeus Network also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and chart position (#13 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Zeus Network sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month 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.

The Zeus Network holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Zeus Network has 166K ratings behind it against 366, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of The Zeus Network's written reviews are positive against 77% of Unexpected TV's.

The Zeus Network ships an update every 2 months, Unexpected TV every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
