# BBC Sport vs Plus.Fan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Plus.Fan at 100% against BBC Sport's 63%. Plus.Fan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). BBC Sport's advantage is ratings volume (26K vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Plus.Fan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BBC Sport has 26K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 63% of BBC Sport's written reviews are positive against 100% of Plus.Fan's.

BBC Sport ships an update fortnightly, Plus.Fan every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
