# Prime IPTV vs IPTV Smarters Player PRO

The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Smarters Player PRO at 4.6 against Prime IPTV's 4.3. IPTV Smarters Player PRO also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 180). Prime IPTV's advantage is device support (5 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Prime IPTV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per year and IPTV Smarters Player PRO sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IPTV Smarters Player PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Smarters Player PRO has 1.4K ratings behind it against 180, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Prime IPTV's written reviews are positive against 59% of IPTV Smarters Player PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Prime IPTV ships an update every 4 weeks, IPTV Smarters Player PRO weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
