# Sofa Time vs SimpleFlix

The clearest difference is monetization model: SimpleFlix at free against Sofa Time's free with in-app purchases. SimpleFlix also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and review sentiment (100% vs 87%). Sofa Time's advantage is ratings volume (2.8K vs 2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sofa Time sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.29 per month and SimpleFlix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SimpleFlix holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sofa Time has 2.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sofa Time ships an update every 5 days, SimpleFlix monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
