# NML vs medici.tv

The clearest difference is rating: medici.tv at 4.6 against NML's 3.0. medici.tv also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 66). NML's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (40% vs 27%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. medici.tv sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. NML asks for nothing beyond the download.

medici.tv holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: medici.tv has 1.6K ratings behind it against 66, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of NML's written reviews are positive against 27% of medici.tv's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

NML ships an update every 2 months, medici.tv every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on August 28, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
