# SenPlayer vs MiPlayer

The clearest difference is rating: SenPlayer at 4.7 against MiPlayer's 4.3. SenPlayer also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 59%) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 11). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SenPlayer sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and MiPlayer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
