# 云听 vs CCTV手机电视

The clearest difference is rating: CCTV手机电视 at 3.7 against 云听's 2.6. CCTV手机电视 also leads on review sentiment (96% vs 54%) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 59). 云听'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. 云听 sells 14 one-off in-app purchases and CCTV手机电视 sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

CCTV手机电视 holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CCTV手机电视 has 2.2K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 54% of 云听's written reviews are positive against 96% of CCTV手机电视's.

云听 ships an update every 3 weeks, CCTV手机电视 every 5 weeks. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
