# truTV vs Prospects

Prospects also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 16%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). truTV's advantage is ratings volume (14K vs 7). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for truTV against 4.6 for Prospects. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: truTV has 14K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 16% of truTV's written reviews are positive against 50% of Prospects's.

truTV ships an update every 3 months, Prospects monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and June 3, 2026 respectively.
