# IPTV Player vs LMSPlayer

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: LMSPlayer at none against IPTV Player's 16. IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (924 vs 1) and rating (4.3 vs 4.0). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. LMSPlayer asks for nothing beyond the download.

IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 924 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
