Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Allente holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sjónvarp Símans has 37 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Sjónvarp Símans's written reviews are positive against 0% of Allente's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Sjónvarp Símans ships an update every 2 weeks, Allente monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
