Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Orbitv at 4.7 against CTV+'s 1.0. Orbitv also leads on ratings volume (108 vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). CTV+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Orbitv ships an update monthly, CTV+ every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 7, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
