# OnAir Client vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OnAir Client at 77% against IPTV Player's 33%. OnAir Client also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OnAir Client sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and IPTV Player sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OnAir Client holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 42 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 77% of OnAir Client's written reviews are positive against 33% of IPTV Player's.

OnAir Client ships an update fortnightly, IPTV Player every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
