# Danky vs IPTV Core

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Danky at none against IPTV Core's 2. Danky also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). IPTV Core's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 1). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Core sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Danky asks for nothing beyond the download.

Danky holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Core has 31 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Danky's written reviews are positive against 83% of IPTV Core's.

Danky ships an update every 2 weeks, IPTV Core every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
