# RealTVFantasy vs 2nd try

The clearest difference is monetization model: RealTVFantasy at free with in-app purchases against 2nd try's subscription. RealTVFantasy also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). 2nd try's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (99% vs 71%). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RealTVFantasy sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

2nd try holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd try has 7.4K ratings behind it against 440, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of RealTVFantasy's written reviews are positive against 99% of 2nd try's.

RealTVFantasy ships an update fortnightly, 2nd try every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
