# CANAL+ vs TV2 Play

The clearest difference is rating: CANAL+ at 3.8 against TV2 Play's 1.0. CANAL+ also leads on review sentiment (33% vs 2%) and ratings volume (516 vs 2). TV2 Play's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CANAL+ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. TV2 Play asks for nothing beyond the download.

CANAL+ holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CANAL+ has 516 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of CANAL+'s written reviews are positive against 2% of TV2 Play's.

CANAL+ ships an update fortnightly, TV2 Play every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
