# Zee 5 vs ETV Win

The clearest difference is rating: Zee 5 at 4.6 against ETV Win's 2.1. Zee 5 also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (24K vs 322). ETV Win's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zee 5 sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and ETV Win sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Zee 5 holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zee 5 has 24K ratings behind it against 322, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Zee 5's written reviews are positive against 19% of ETV Win's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zee 5 ships an update every 5 days, ETV Win every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
