Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Jme TV at 2.5 against FANTS (ファンツ)'s 1.0. Jme TV also leads on ratings volume (48 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). FANTS (ファンツ)'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price and ads 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. Jme TV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month. FANTS (ファンツ) asks for nothing beyond the download.
Jme TV holds the better App Store score, 2.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jme TV has 48 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 32% of FANTS (ファンツ)'s written reviews are positive against 7% of Jme TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FANTS (ファンツ) ships an update fortnightly, Jme TV every 4 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
