# Liftoff vs MacroVision

Liftoff and MacroVision both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of MacroVision's written reviews are positive against 68% of Liftoff's. Liftoff's advantage is ratings volume (100K vs 20) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Liftoff sells 24 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and MacroVision sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MacroVision holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Liftoff has 100K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Liftoff's written reviews are positive against 100% of MacroVision's.

Liftoff ships an update every 5 days, MacroVision every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
