# medici.tv vs Ballet Class

The clearest difference is rating: medici.tv at 4.6 against Ballet Class's 3.8. medici.tv also leads on ratings volume (1.6K vs 77) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 3 months). Ballet Class's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. medici.tv sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and Ballet Class sells 13 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

medici.tv holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: medici.tv has 1.6K ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of medici.tv's written reviews are positive against 68% of Ballet Class's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

medici.tv ships an update every 5 weeks, Ballet Class every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 16, 2026 respectively.
