# IP vs StbEmuTV

The clearest difference is rating: StbEmuTV at 2.3 against IP's 1.7. StbEmuTV also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 5 weeks). IP's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.1K vs 50). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

StbEmuTV holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP has 2.1K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 10% of IP's written reviews are positive against 13% of StbEmuTV's.

IP ships an update every 5 weeks, StbEmuTV every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
