# IPTV Streamer vs IPTV+ Smart Player

The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Streamer at 4.5 against IPTV+ Smart Player's 3.9. IPTV Streamer also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 336). IPTV+ Smart Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Streamer sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per year and IPTV+ Smart Player sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IPTV Streamer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Streamer has 3.8K ratings behind it against 336, so its average is the more settled of the two.
