# Play IPTV Player vs Smart Player

The clearest difference is rating: Smart Player at 5.0 against Play IPTV Player's 4.5. Smart Player also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Play IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

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

Smart Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Play IPTV Player has 64 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
