Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tubi at none against The Brick TV's 4. Tubi also leads on ratings volume (1.2M vs 46) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). The Brick TV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (79% vs 70%). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Brick TV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Tubi asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Tubi holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tubi has 1.2M ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of Tubi's written reviews are positive against 79% of The Brick TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Tubi ships an update weekly, The Brick TV monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
