# iPlayer vs Teak Browser

The clearest difference is rating: iPlayer at 5.0 against Teak Browser's 4.4. iPlayer also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Teak Browser's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (39 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPlayer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Teak Browser sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iPlayer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Teak Browser has 39 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of iPlayer's written reviews are positive against 70% of Teak Browser's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 9, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
