# Fandor vs Films Rx

The clearest difference is rating: Films Rx at 5.0 against Fandor's 3.4. Films Rx also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months). Fandor's advantage is ratings volume (37 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fandor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Films Rx sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Films Rx holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fandor has 37 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Fandor ships an update every 3 months, Films Rx every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
