# Perfect IPTV Player vs IPTV Smarters Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Perfect IPTV Player at 4.6 against IPTV Smarters Pro's 4.0. Perfect IPTV Player also leads on ratings volume (8.4K vs 2). IPTV Smarters Pro's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 41%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Perfect IPTV Player sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.69 per month and IPTV Smarters Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Perfect IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perfect IPTV Player has 8.4K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of Perfect IPTV Player's written reviews are positive against 67% of IPTV Smarters Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Perfect IPTV Player ships an update fortnightly, IPTV Smarters Pro every 5 days. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
