# TV SPIELFILM vs WDR 4

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: WDR 4 at none against TV SPIELFILM's 9. WDR 4 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.5). TV SPIELFILM's advantage is ratings volume (163 vs 11) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV SPIELFILM sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. WDR 4 asks for nothing beyond the download.

WDR 4 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV SPIELFILM has 163 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of TV SPIELFILM's written reviews are positive against 68% of WDR 4's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

TV SPIELFILM ships an update every 8 days, WDR 4 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
