# Cinépolis vs SuperFan

The clearest difference is ads: Cinépolis at none against SuperFan's shown. Cinépolis also leads on ratings volume (800 vs 13). SuperFan's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and review sentiment (14% vs 4%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 1.7 for Cinépolis against 1.6 for SuperFan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cinépolis has 800 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 4% of Cinépolis's written reviews are positive against 14% of SuperFan's.

Cinépolis ships an update every 3 weeks, SuperFan every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 15, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
