Both are free to download. Flex Remote for Kodi sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and IPTV Smarters sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
IPTV Smarters holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Smarters has 1.7K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 39% of Flex Remote for Kodi's written reviews are positive against 36% of IPTV Smarters's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Flex Remote for Kodi ships an update every 3 weeks, IPTV Smarters weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
