Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Ketchup TV at 4.4 against ScreenHitsTV's 3.0. Ketchup TV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). ScreenHitsTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, ratings volume and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ketchup TV holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 8 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Ketchup TV's written reviews are positive against 50% of ScreenHitsTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Ketchup TV ships an update every 8 months, ScreenHitsTV every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on July 17, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
