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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
telev8 holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 4 and 1 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of telev8's written reviews are positive against 100% of MTC Cable +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
