Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: 2nd try at 7.1K against WatcherTV's 1.2K. On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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. WatcherTV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and 2nd try sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for WatcherTV against 5.0 for 2nd try. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 2nd try has 7.1K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 99% positive.
WatcherTV ships an update every 3 months, 2nd try every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
