# Mega IPTV vs Ustreme

The clearest difference is rating: Mega IPTV at 4.5 against Ustreme's 4.0. Mega IPTV also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 4). Ustreme's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 45%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mega IPTV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Ustreme sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mega IPTV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mega IPTV has 3.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Mega IPTV's written reviews are positive against 75% of Ustreme's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mega IPTV ships an update weekly, Ustreme every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
