Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: ExploreFlix at free with in-app purchases against Canon+'s subscription. ExploreFlix also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 84%). Canon+'s advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 3) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Canon+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month and ExploreFlix sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Canon+ against 5.0 for ExploreFlix. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canon+ has 3.1K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 84% of Canon+'s written reviews are positive against 100% of ExploreFlix's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Canon+ ships an update every 3 months, ExploreFlix every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and July 27, 2026 respectively.
