# Zee 5 vs Bhajans

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bhajans at 100% against Zee 5's 15%. Bhajans also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 22) and ads (none vs shown). Zee 5's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (24K vs 2). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zee 5 sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Bhajans asks for nothing beyond the download.

Bhajans holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zee 5 has 24K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of Zee 5's written reviews are positive against 100% of Bhajans's.
