# Flex IPTV vs UHF

The clearest difference is rating: UHF at 4.7 against Flex IPTV's 3.9. UHF also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3K vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flex IPTV sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and UHF sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UHF holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UHF has 3K ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Flex IPTV's written reviews are positive against 71% of UHF's.

Flex IPTV ships an update every 2 months, UHF every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
