# iTVShows vs IPTVX

The clearest difference is rating: IPTVX at 4.4 against iTVShows's 1.0. IPTVX also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 2). iTVShows's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 45%) and in-app purchases (none vs 18). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTVX sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. iTVShows asks for nothing beyond the download.

IPTVX holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTVX has 3.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of iTVShows's written reviews are positive against 45% of IPTVX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iTVShows ships an update every 2 months, IPTVX every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
