# Sony LIV vs AiduPlay

The clearest difference is rating: AiduPlay at 5.0 against Sony LIV's 4.2. AiduPlay also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 35%) and ads (none vs shown). Sony LIV's advantage is ratings volume (801 vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sony LIV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month and AiduPlay sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AiduPlay holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sony LIV has 801 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 35% of Sony LIV's written reviews are positive against 75% of AiduPlay's.

Sony LIV ships an update every 6 days, AiduPlay every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
