Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: 3Dfan at none against Fast Player's 5. 3Dfan also leads on ads (none vs shown). Fast Player's advantage is ratings volume (5K vs 5) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Fast Player sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year. 3Dfan asks for nothing beyond the download.
Fast Player holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Player has 5K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 68% of Fast Player's written reviews are positive against 67% of 3Dfan's.
Fast Player ships an update every 3 weeks, 3Dfan every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
