# Sight & Sound TV vs Refocus Now

Refocus Now also leads on update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 16.6). Sight & Sound TV's advantage is ratings volume (980 vs 6).

Both are free to download. Sight & Sound TV sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Refocus Now sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Sight & Sound TV against 5.0 for Refocus Now. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sight & Sound TV has 980 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
