# iPlayer vs 指尖小组件

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iPlayer at 100% against 指尖小组件's 11%. iPlayer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.2) and ads (none vs shown). 指尖小组件's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPlayer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and 指尖小组件 sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
