# Большое ТВ vs TV+ Эфир

The clearest difference is rating: TV+ Эфир at 4.2 against Большое ТВ's 3.3. TV+ Эфир also leads on review sentiment (48% vs 15%). Большое ТВ's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (342 vs 6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Большое ТВ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and TV+ Эфир sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TV+ Эфир holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Большое ТВ has 342 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of Большое ТВ's written reviews are positive against 48% of TV+ Эфир's.

Большое ТВ ships an update monthly, TV+ Эфир every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
