Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: APTV at none against 途播's shown. APTV also leads on ratings volume (729 vs 19) and chart position (#3 vs unranked). 途播's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. APTV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 途播 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for APTV against 4.5 for 途播. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: APTV has 729 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 76% and 76% positive.
APTV ships an update fortnightly, 途播 every 2 days. Both last shipped on October 12, 2026.
