Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CleoTV at 4.4 against aspireTV's 2.4. CleoTV also leads on ratings volume (47 vs 5). aspireTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). On price, in-app purchases and device support 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CleoTV holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CleoTV has 47 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of CleoTV's written reviews are positive against 50% of aspireTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CleoTV ships an update every 5 months, aspireTV every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
