# Hot Tools vs FirePlayer

The clearest difference is rating: FirePlayer at 4.5 against Hot Tools's 4.0. FirePlayer also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 12 months). Hot Tools's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FirePlayer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Hot Tools asks for nothing beyond the download.

FirePlayer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0.
