Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Reflix at none against ntPlayer's shown. ntPlayer's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and review sentiment (72% vs 62%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ntPlayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Reflix sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ntPlayer holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ntPlayer has 86 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of ntPlayer's written reviews are positive against 62% of Reflix's.
ntPlayer ships an update every 8 days, Reflix weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 8, 2026 respectively.
