# Play IPTV Player vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is rating: Play IPTV Player at 4.5 against IPTV Player's 3.9. Play IPTV Player also leads on ratings volume (64 vs 10) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). IPTV Player's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks).

Both are free to download. Play IPTV Player sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and IPTV Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Play IPTV Player has 64 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two.
