# IPTV Player vs Prime IPTV

The clearest difference is monetization model: Prime IPTV at free with in-app purchases against IPTV Player's subscription. Prime IPTV also leads on review sentiment (61% vs 39%). IPTV Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (923 vs 180). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Prime IPTV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year. 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 923 ratings behind it against 180, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 39% of IPTV Player's written reviews are positive against 61% of Prime IPTV's.
