# Channel 85 vs EYL Network

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Channel 85 at 8.1K against EYL Network's 1. EYL Network's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Channel 85 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and EYL Network sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Channel 85 against 5.0 for EYL Network. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Channel 85 has 8.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Channel 85 ships an update every 3 months, EYL Network monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
