Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: STIRR TV at 3.1 against Vidgo's 2.4. STIRR TV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4). Vidgo's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and monetization model 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. Vidgo sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $39.99 per month. STIRR TV asks for nothing beyond the download.
STIRR TV holds the better App Store score, 3.1 against 2.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 439 and 270 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of STIRR TV's written reviews are positive against 19% of Vidgo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
STIRR TV ships an update every 2 months, Vidgo fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
