# iWantTFC vs Philippines Live

The clearest difference is rating: iWantTFC at 3.9 against Philippines Live's 1.0. iWantTFC also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 1) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 weeks). Philippines Live's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 15) and ads (none vs shown). On price 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. Philippines Live asks for nothing beyond the download.

iWantTFC holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iWantTFC has 1.3K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

iWantTFC ships an update every 11 days, Philippines Live every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
