MoviePass is the only movie theater subscription that lets you see any movie at any theater for one low price. How many credits does a movie cost? The credit value of a movie is based on showtime, day of the week, and theater location. MoviePass is partnered with over 30% of movie theaters to bring you the biggest savings with same-day e-ticketing! You always have access to movie theaters outside of our network, but you’ll see the best deals at partner theaters. Do my credits rollover? Yes! Your credits rollover up to the amount you have in your current plan. How many movies can I see a month? You decide the number of movies you see every month, based on the plan you choose. Current plans offer 1-3 movies, 2-4 movies, 3-5 movies. The range has to do with the difference between peak and off-peak. Will my credits rollover? Yes! Your credits rollover up to the amount you have in your current plan. So if your plan is for 23 credits per month, you can have up to 46 credits in your account. How long will it take for my MoviePass card to get here? Your MoviePass card will arrive within 10 days of your sign up. Your account will renew one month after you’ve activated your card. When can I start going to the movies? See a movie the same day you sign up with e-ticketing at any of our partner theaters. Non-partner theaters will require the MoviePass card for a ticket purchase. Need a movie break? Cancel anytime and rejoin whenever you’re ready to get back to the dazzling silver screen. How can I reach customer support? Thank you for using our app!

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: A24 at 3.6 against MoviePass's 3.1. A24 also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17). MoviePass's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (33% vs 22%). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads 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. A24 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. MoviePass asks for nothing beyond the download.
A24 holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 168 and 206 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of MoviePass's written reviews are positive against 22% of A24's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
MoviePass ships an update fortnightly, A24 every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
