Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: JellyTV at 79% against LiquidFin's 56%. JellyTV also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (33 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. JellyTV sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month and LiquidFin sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
JellyTV holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JellyTV has 33 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of JellyTV's written reviews are positive against 56% of LiquidFin's.
JellyTV ships an update weekly, LiquidFin fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
