# 腾讯视频 vs 大麦

The clearest difference is rating: 腾讯视频 at 4.6 against 大麦's 2.3. 腾讯视频 also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 8%) and ratings volume (26K vs 435). 大麦's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model 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 and 大麦 sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 腾讯视频 has 26K ratings behind it against 435, 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 8% of 大麦's.

腾讯视频 ships an update every 6 days, 大麦 every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
