However, to be able to decide, you need to know what is Chive TV, what is UPshow, and how the two compare.

But we'll make it easy for you: Chive TV offers you plenty of great features but UPshow offers each of them and then goes a mile beyond to not only improve on those features but also add even more features. The trick, of course, is knowing what these features are and how they can help your business. Let’s take a deep dive.

What is Chive TV and How is UPshow Different?

Tailored Social Media TV

While Chive TV limits its viral video content customization to the selection of specific genres like ‘puppies’ or ‘fail videos’, UPshow gives you access to a wide range of social media-powered channels on the teams and topics that matter most to your customers. That way, you can have a Buckeyes channel in your Ohio bar, a home improvement channel in your waiting room, or a travel channel in your hotel. Plus, UPshow’s integration with the top internet TV provider (Pluto.tv) gives you access to leading channels such as FailArmy, Wipeout, Fox Sports, News 24/7, KidsTV and much more.

Fully Branded

UPshow’s platform can be completely customized to your brand - colors, style, logo, hashtags and more. Have something specific in mind? We’ll do everything we can to help you out. We won’t leave you to your own devices, or limit you to a tiny logo in the corner. Ultimately, your customers will see this as “Your Brand TV” and think you’ve invested in building out your own channel!

No Ads

The UPshow platform guarantees total control. This means no ads, ever, promoting your competition or interrupting your customers’ entertainment. The only marketing materials your guests will see are your own - and that’s a great thing!

Games & Trivia

Get customers engaged, staying longer, and spending more as they enjoy trivia and games activated from their mobile phones.

In addition to giving you the best of the above features, UPshow has so much more to offer than Chive TV. We specialize in building businesses their very own Social TV - a dynamic social media display that delights customers and incentivizes them to talk about your business online. With options to add-on Pluto.tv, games & trivia, and more, you’ll use UPshow for more than just viral videos.
