Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: WVBS at 180 against GBN TV's 12. WVBS also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). GBN TV's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
WVBS holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WVBS has 180 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of WVBS's written reviews are positive against 100% of GBN TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
WVBS ships an update every 5 months, GBN TV every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
