Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: My UPtv at none against Hallmark+'s 8. My UPtv also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and review sentiment (37% vs 8%). Hallmark+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 34). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

My UPtv holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hallmark+ has 12K ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 8% of Hallmark+'s written reviews are positive against 37% of My UPtv's.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Hallmark+ ships an update monthly, My UPtv every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
