# 腾讯视频 vs Tencent Video

The clearest difference is rating: 腾讯视频 at 4.6 against Tencent Video's 3.3. 腾讯视频 also leads on ratings volume (26K vs 1.1K) and review sentiment (33% vs 17%). Tencent Video's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 腾讯视频 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Tencent Video sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

腾讯视频 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 腾讯视频 has 26K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of 腾讯视频's written reviews are positive against 17% of Tencent Video's.
