# Simple IPTV vs IPTV Time

The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Time at 4.6 against Simple IPTV's 1.0. IPTV Time also leads on ratings volume (5 vs 1). Simple IPTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (17% vs 0%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Time sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Simple IPTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

IPTV Time holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Time has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Simple IPTV's written reviews are positive against 0% of IPTV Time's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Simple IPTV ships an update every 4 weeks, IPTV Time every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
