# IPTV Player vs IPTV Pro

The clearest difference is monetization model: IPTV Pro at free against IPTV Player's free with in-app purchases. IPTV Pro also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.9) and review sentiment (67% vs 57%). IPTV Player's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs weekly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year and IPTV Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IPTV Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 10 and 34 respectively. Written reviews point the same way: 57% of IPTV Player's written reviews are positive against 67% of IPTV Pro's.
