# Super Stream Player vs MX Player

The clearest difference is rating: MX Player at 4.5 against Super Stream Player's 3.2. MX Player also leads on ratings volume (4.3K vs 9). Super Stream Player's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (57% vs 33%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MX Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Super Stream Player asks for nothing beyond the download.

MX Player holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MX Player has 4.3K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of Super Stream Player's written reviews are positive against 33% of MX Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Super Stream Player ships an update every 4 weeks, MX Player monthly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
