Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Runtime TV at none against TLN+'s 1. Runtime TV also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 3) and device support (5 vs 3). TLN+'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. TLN+ sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $8.99 per month. Runtime TV asks for nothing beyond the download.
TLN+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Runtime TV has 1.2K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
