Both are free to download. NexTv sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Zen IPTV Player sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Zen IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Zen IPTV Player has 151 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of NexTv's written reviews are positive against 80% of Zen IPTV Player's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
