# TV Pro TV vs TV Set

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TV Pro TV at 90% against TV Set's 0%. TV Pro TV also leads on rating (4.6 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). TV Set's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Pro TV sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per 7 days and TV Set sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV Pro TV ships an update weekly, TV Set every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
