# TV Forecast vs PlayMirror

The clearest difference is rating: PlayMirror at 5.0 against TV Forecast's 4.4. PlayMirror also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). TV Forecast's advantage is ratings volume (658 vs 7). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Forecast sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and PlayMirror sells 15 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PlayMirror holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.
