# TV8 vs Mega IPTV

The clearest difference is rating: Mega IPTV at 4.5 against TV8's 2.9. Mega IPTV also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 16). TV8's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
