# Rewind vs Cinecase

The clearest difference is rating: Rewind at 4.9 against Cinecase's 4.1. Rewind also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 60%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Cinecase's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 6 weeks) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
