# Lookhu vs Unexpected TV

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Lookhu at none against Unexpected TV's 2. Lookhu also leads on iOS requirement (14.4 vs 16.6). Unexpected TV's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (365 vs 52). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unexpected TV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Lookhu asks for nothing beyond the download.

Unexpected TV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unexpected TV has 365 ratings behind it against 52, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Lookhu's written reviews are positive against 77% of Unexpected TV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lookhu ships an update every 4 months, Unexpected TV every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
