# Кинопоиск vs Большое ТВ

The clearest difference is rating: Кинопоиск at 4.7 against Большое ТВ's 3.3. Кинопоиск also leads on ratings volume (37K vs 326) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Большое ТВ's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Кинопоиск sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Большое ТВ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Кинопоиск holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Кинопоиск has 37K ratings behind it against 326, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 27% of Кинопоиск's written reviews are positive against 15% of Большое ТВ's.

Кинопоиск ships an update weekly, Большое ТВ monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
