# Кинопоиск vs CB Line

The clearest difference is rating: Кинопоиск at 4.7 against CB Line's 1.0. Кинопоиск also leads on ratings volume (37K vs 2). CB Line's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 27%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Кинопоиск sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and CB Line sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Кинопоиск holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Кинопоиск has 37K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of Кинопоиск's written reviews are positive against 50% of CB Line'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 weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
