# IPTV Ultra vs Cap Player

The clearest difference is ratings volume: IPTV Ultra at 392 against Cap Player's 2. Cap Player's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 42%) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Ultra sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.39 per month and Cap Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
