# 腾讯视频 vs 猫眼

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 猫眼 at none against 腾讯视频's 22. 猫眼 also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 33%). 腾讯视频's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (26K vs 1.5K). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 腾讯视频 sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. 猫眼 asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for 腾讯视频 against 4.7 for 猫眼. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 腾讯视频 has 26K ratings behind it against 1.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 33% of 腾讯视频's written reviews are positive against 50% of 猫眼's.

腾讯视频 ships an update every 6 days, 猫眼 every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 28, 2026.
