Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TV Set at 3.7 against VU tv+'s 2.3. TV Set also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 4 months). VU tv+'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (22% vs 0%). On price, ratings volume and device support 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. TV Set sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. VU tv+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
TV Set holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 7 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of VU tv+'s written reviews are positive against 0% of TV Set's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VU tv+ ships an update every 4 months, TV Set every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on October 3, 2026.
