# UFC vs Bare Knuckle TV

The clearest difference is rating: UFC at 4.8 against Bare Knuckle TV's 2.8. UFC also leads on review sentiment (53% vs 22%) and ratings volume (46K vs 459). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. UFC sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Bare Knuckle TV sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UFC holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UFC has 46K ratings behind it against 459, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of UFC's written reviews are positive against 22% of Bare Knuckle TV's.

UFC ships an update every 2 months, Bare Knuckle TV every 3 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
