# iWantTFC vs Apple TV

The clearest difference is rating: Apple TV at 4.8 against iWantTFC's 3.9. Apple TV also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ratings volume (1.9M vs 1.3K). iWantTFC's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and chart position (#94 vs unranked). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iWantTFC sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Apple TV asks for nothing beyond the download.

Apple TV holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Apple TV has 1.9M ratings behind it against 1.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of iWantTFC's written reviews are positive against 43% of Apple TV's.

iWantTFC ships an update every 2 weeks, Apple TV every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
