# TV vs Православие

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: TV at none against Православие's 3. TV also leads on iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). Православие's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (27 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Православие sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. TV asks for nothing beyond the download.

TV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Православие has 27 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 72% and 71% positive.

TV ships an update every 4 months, Православие weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 23, 2026 respectively.
