# LillyPlayer vs iProTV

The clearest difference is rating: LillyPlayer at 4.6 against iProTV's 3.6. LillyPlayer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (714 vs 77). iProTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LillyPlayer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and iProTV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LillyPlayer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LillyPlayer has 714 ratings behind it against 77, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 58% and 59% positive.

LillyPlayer ships an update every 2 weeks, iProTV every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
