# 4VR vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Player at 4.4 against 4VR's 1.2. IPTV Player also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). 4VR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month. 4VR asks for nothing beyond the download.

IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 4VR has 105 ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 4% of 4VR's written reviews are positive against 0% of IPTV Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

4VR ships an update every 4 months, IPTV Player monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
