# Smarters Pro vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is device support: Smarters Pro at 4 against IPTV Player's 2. On price, rating, review sentiment and ratings volume there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Smarters Pro sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per year and IPTV Player sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Smarters Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 9.1K and 3.5K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of Smarters Pro's written reviews are positive against 21% of IPTV Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Smarters Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, IPTV Player fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
