# Video Player vs Televika

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Video Player at 62% against Televika's 41%. Video Player also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (2.4K vs 337). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Player sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Televika sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
