# Cast to TV vs Console Guide

The clearest difference is ads: Console Guide at none against Cast to TV's shown. Cast to TV's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 days) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cast to TV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Console Guide sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Console Guide holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cast to TV has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Cast to TV ships an update every 2 days, Console Guide every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
