# STORM TV vs 2nd try

The clearest difference is monetization model: STORM TV at free with in-app purchases against 2nd try's subscription. 2nd try's advantage is ratings volume (7.4K vs 33) and review sentiment (99% vs 82%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. STORM TV sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.9 for STORM TV against 5.0 for 2nd try. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd try has 7.4K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of STORM TV's written reviews are positive against 99% of 2nd try's.

STORM TV ships an update every 6 weeks, 2nd try every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
