# Punch TV vs Dunkadillo

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Dunkadillo at 90% against Punch TV's 65%. Dunkadillo also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Punch TV's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and ratings volume (302 vs 55). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Punch TV sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Dunkadillo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Punch TV holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Punch TV has 302 ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Punch TV's written reviews are positive against 90% of Dunkadillo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Punch TV ships an update every 10 days, Dunkadillo weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
