# WCETV vs Tencent Video

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WCETV at 67% against Tencent Video's 17%. WCETV also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 22). Tencent Video's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 9). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tencent Video sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. WCETV asks for nothing beyond the download.

WCETV holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tencent Video has 1.1K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of WCETV's written reviews are positive against 17% of Tencent Video's.

WCETV ships an update every 5 months, Tencent Video every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
