# Play IPTV Player vs Eye

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Eye at 100% against Play IPTV Player's 58%. Eye also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). Play IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (64 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
