Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Reelgood at 49% against TVNZ+'s 5%. Reelgood also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.0) and ratings volume (10K vs 51). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Reelgood holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reelgood has 10K ratings behind it against 51, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 5% of TVNZ+'s written reviews are positive against 49% of Reelgood's.
TVNZ+ ships an update fortnightly, Reelgood weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
