Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: WHCB at 100% against Frndly TV's 33%. WHCB also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.6) and in-app purchases (none vs 17). Frndly TV's advantage is ratings volume (2.5K vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price and iOS requirement 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. Frndly TV sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. WHCB asks for nothing beyond the download.
WHCB holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Frndly TV has 2.5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of Frndly TV's written reviews are positive against 100% of WHCB's.
Frndly TV ships an update fortnightly, WHCB every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
