# SkillBox vs OTTplay

The clearest difference is rating: OTTplay at 4.5 against SkillBox's 2.7. OTTplay also leads on ratings volume (164 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). SkillBox's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OTTplay sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. SkillBox asks for nothing beyond the download.

OTTplay holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OTTplay has 164 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of SkillBox's written reviews are positive against 52% of OTTplay's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SkillBox ships an update every 6 days, OTTplay every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
