# InstaTV Pro vs Cinofa

The clearest difference is rating: Cinofa at 5.0 against InstaTV Pro's 2.2. InstaTV Pro's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InstaTV Pro sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Cinofa sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cinofa holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InstaTV Pro has 30 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

InstaTV Pro ships an update monthly, Cinofa every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
