Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DISH Anywhere at none against OSN+'s 6. DISH Anywhere also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 20%) and ratings volume (262K vs 23K). OSN+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#156 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and monetization model 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. OSN+ sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. DISH Anywhere asks for nothing beyond the download.
DISH Anywhere holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DISH Anywhere has 262K ratings behind it against 23K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 37% of DISH Anywhere's written reviews are positive against 20% of OSN+'s.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
