# Fighting Films+ vs The Guide Sites

The clearest difference is monetization model: The Guide Sites at free with in-app purchases against Fighting Films+'s subscription. Fighting Films+'s advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 12). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fighting Films+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and The Guide Sites sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Fighting Films+ against 5.0 for The Guide Sites. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fighting Films+ has 72 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
