Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: truTV at 4.5 against [adult swim]'s 3.1. truTV also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (14K vs 2.9K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
truTV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14K and 2.9K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of truTV's written reviews are positive against 18% of [adult swim]'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 10, 2026 respectively.
