# Mar Azul vs PRTV+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Mar Azul at 100% against PRTV+'s 40%. Mar Azul also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). PRTV+'s advantage is ratings volume (286 vs 33). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
