# Snappier IPTV vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is monetization model: Snappier IPTV at free with in-app purchases against IPTV Player's subscription. Snappier IPTV also leads on review sentiment (49% vs 39%). IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (927 vs 155) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Snappier IPTV sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and IPTV Player sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 927 ratings behind it against 155, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Snappier IPTV's written reviews are positive against 39% of IPTV Player's.
