# KORTV vs KDramaCool

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KDramaCool at none against KORTV's 5. KDramaCool also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 26.0). KORTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (393 vs 24). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. KORTV sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. KDramaCool asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for KORTV against 4.5 for KDramaCool. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KORTV has 393 ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two.
