# KORTV vs Doki TV

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Doki TV at 82% against KORTV's 12%. Doki TV also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). KORTV's advantage is ratings volume (393 vs 35). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KORTV sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Doki TV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Doki TV holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KORTV has 393 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 12% of KORTV's written reviews are positive against 82% of Doki TV's.

KORTV ships an update every 6 months, Doki TV every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
