# POP vs Ibo Player Pro

The clearest difference is rating: Ibo Player Pro at 4.2 against POP's 3.1. POP's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Ibo Player Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. POP asks for nothing beyond the download.

Ibo Player Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.1. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 27% of POP's written reviews are positive against 22% of Ibo Player Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

POP ships an update every 2 months, Ibo Player Pro every 8 months. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
