# Simple IPTV vs Timivate Iptv

The clearest difference is rating: Timivate Iptv at 3.6 against Simple IPTV's 1.0. Timivate Iptv also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). Simple IPTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Timivate Iptv sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Simple IPTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

Timivate Iptv holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Timivate Iptv has 11 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 Timivate Iptv'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, Timivate Iptv every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
