# E票电影 vs 央视频

The clearest difference is rating: 央视频 at 4.8 against E票电影's 2.0. 央视频 also leads on review sentiment (52% vs 10%) and ratings volume (4.5K vs 1). E票电影's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 37) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 央视频 sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. E票电影 asks for nothing beyond the download.

央视频 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 央视频 has 4.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 10% of E票电影's written reviews are positive against 52% of 央视频's.

E票电影 ships an update every 2 weeks, 央视频 every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
