ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

nPlayer Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: nPlayer Plus has 2.5K ratings behind it against 97, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of nPlayer Plus's written reviews are positive against 85% of put.io's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

nPlayer Plus ships an update every 10 days, put.io every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
