# iPlayer vs LineGet

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iPlayer at 100% against LineGet's 28%. iPlayer also leads on rating (5.0 vs 2.6) and update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). LineGet's advantage is ratings volume (73 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPlayer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and LineGet sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iPlayer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LineGet has 73 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 28% of LineGet's.

iPlayer ships an update every 3 days, LineGet fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
