# Episoder vs TV Show Tracker Pro

The clearest difference is rating: TV Show Tracker Pro at 4.5 against Episoder's 3.4. TV Show Tracker Pro also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 64%) and ratings volume (157 vs 19). Episoder's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Episoder sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and TV Show Tracker Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Show Tracker Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Show Tracker Pro has 157 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Episoder's written reviews are positive against 80% of TV Show Tracker Pro's.

Episoder ships an update every 3 days, TV Show Tracker Pro every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
