# Zee 5 vs Durlabh Darshan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Durlabh Darshan at 92% against Zee 5's 15%. Zee 5's advantage is ratings volume (24K vs 7) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zee 5 sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Durlabh Darshan sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zee 5 has 24K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Zee 5's written reviews are positive against 92% of Durlabh Darshan'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, Durlabh Darshan every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
