# 央视频 vs 英雄坛说2

The clearest difference is rating: 央视频 at 4.8 against 英雄坛说2's 2.6. 央视频 also leads on ratings volume (4.5K vs 7). 英雄坛说2's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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 and 英雄坛说2 sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

央视频 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 央视频 has 4.5K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.

央视频 ships an update every 9 days, 英雄坛说2 every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
