# Side+ vs Taboo TV

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Side+ at 96% against Taboo TV's 34%. Side+ also leads on rating (4.9 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 40). Taboo TV's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Side+ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Taboo TV sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Side+ holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Side+ has 7.1K ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 96% of Side+'s written reviews are positive against 34% of Taboo TV's.

Side+ ships an update every 6 weeks, Taboo TV weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
