Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: CoinsTV at 4.8 against GreatCollections's 4.1. CoinsTV also leads on ratings volume (215 vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). GreatCollections's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 10 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 73%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
CoinsTV holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CoinsTV has 215 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of CoinsTV's written reviews are positive against 100% of GreatCollections's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
CoinsTV ships an update every 10 months, GreatCollections monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 5, 2026 and August 29, 2026 respectively.
