# Horse.TV vs RFDTV+

The clearest difference is rating: Horse.TV at 3.5 against RFDTV+'s 2.9. Horse.TV also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 13%) and ads (none vs shown). RFDTV+'s advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Horse.TV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and RFDTV+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Horse.TV holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RFDTV+ has 689 ratings behind it against 135, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 51% of Horse.TV's written reviews are positive against 13% of RFDTV+'s.

Horse.TV ships an update every 5 months, RFDTV+ every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
