Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: 2nd try at 99% against StrideTV's 0%. 2nd try also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 8). StrideTV's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads 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. StrideTV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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.
2nd try holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd try has 7.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of StrideTV's written reviews are positive against 99% of 2nd try's.
StrideTV ships an update monthly, 2nd try every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
