# PubTV vs Redeem TV

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Redeem TV at none against PubTV's 8. Redeem TV also leads on ratings volume (646 vs 91) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months). PubTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, review sentiment and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PubTV sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.00 per month. Redeem TV asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PubTV against 4.8 for Redeem TV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Redeem TV has 646 ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 96% and 96% positive.

PubTV ships an update every 3 months, Redeem TV every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
