# IPTV vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is review sentiment: IPTV at 100% against IPTV Player's 33%. IPTV also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and IPTV Player sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IPTV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 42 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of IPTV's written reviews are positive against 33% of IPTV Player's.

IPTV ships an update monthly, IPTV Player every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
