Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ariana TV Live at none against Darya's 1. Ariana TV Live also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (3.9 vs 3.5). Darya's advantage is review sentiment (31% vs 0%) and ratings volume (287 vs 11). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Darya sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per month. Ariana TV Live asks for nothing beyond the download.
Ariana TV Live holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Darya has 287 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Ariana TV Live's written reviews are positive against 31% of Darya's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ariana TV Live ships an update monthly, Darya every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
