# YOW.tv vs Gorilla Comedy+

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Gorilla Comedy+ at 90% against YOW.tv's 45%. Gorilla Comedy+ also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.5). YOW.tv's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.2). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. YOW.tv sells 12 one-off in-app purchases and Gorilla Comedy+ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gorilla Comedy+ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 21 and 11 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of YOW.tv's written reviews are positive against 90% of Gorilla Comedy+'s.
