# Perfect IPTV Player vs TV Smart Player

The clearest difference is rating: Perfect IPTV Player at 4.6 against TV Smart Player's 3.5. Perfect IPTV Player also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (41% vs 13%). TV Smart Player's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, 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 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.

Perfect IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Perfect IPTV Player has 8.3K ratings behind it against 561, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 41% of Perfect IPTV Player's written reviews are positive against 13% of TV Smart Player's.

Perfect IPTV Player ships an update fortnightly, TV Smart Player every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
