# Anisense vs Popcorn

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Popcorn at 100% against Anisense's 50%. Popcorn also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Anisense's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Anisense sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Popcorn asks for nothing beyond the download.

Popcorn holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anisense has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of Anisense's written reviews are positive against 100% of Popcorn's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 5, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
