# WindTVO vs TV Smart Player

The clearest difference is rating: WindTVO at 4.1 against TV Smart Player's 3.5. WindTVO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (33% vs 13%). TV Smart Player's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WindTVO sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and TV Smart Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WindTVO holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Smart Player has 562 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of WindTVO's written reviews are positive against 13% of TV Smart Player's.

WindTVO ships an update every 5 weeks, TV Smart Player every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
