Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Global Arabic+ at 5.0 against Roya TV's 3.0. Global Arabic+ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ads (none vs shown). Roya TV's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (24% vs 0%). On price and device support 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. Roya TV sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Global Arabic+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
Global Arabic+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Roya TV has 156 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 24% of Roya TV's written reviews are positive against 0% of Global Arabic+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Roya TV ships an update every 4 days, Global Arabic+ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
