# CANAL+ vs Bobine

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bobine at 100% against CANAL+'s 33%. Bobine also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and in-app purchases (none vs 13). CANAL+'s advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (513 vs 1). On price there is nothing between them.

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

Bobine holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8.
