# i vs IPVideo

The clearest difference is rating: IPVideo at 2.3 against i's 1.6. i's advantage is review sentiment (29% vs 0%) and ratings volume (19 vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

IPVideo holds the better App Store score, 2.3 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: i has 19 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of i's written reviews are positive against 0% of IPVideo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

i ships an update every 2 months, IPVideo every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and August 2, 2026 respectively.
