Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: USTA.TV at 5.0 against USTA Serve's 4.3. USTA.TV also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.0). USTA Serve's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and ratings volume (68 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
USTA.TV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: USTA Serve has 68 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of USTA.TV's written reviews are positive against 100% of USTA Serve's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
USTA.TV ships an update every 7 months, USTA Serve every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on August 18, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
