# AntenaPLAY vs Comedy Box

The clearest difference is rating: Comedy Box at 5.0 against AntenaPLAY's 3.9. Comedy Box also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1). AntenaPLAY's advantage is ratings volume (212 vs 3) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AntenaPLAY sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month. Comedy Box asks for nothing beyond the download.

Comedy Box holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AntenaPLAY has 212 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of AntenaPLAY's written reviews are positive against 0% of Comedy Box's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AntenaPLAY ships an update every 11 days, Comedy Box every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and July 9, 2026 respectively.
