# XCloud Mobile vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Player at 4.3 against XCloud Mobile's 2.9. IPTV Player also leads on ratings volume (3.3K vs 10) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). XCloud Mobile's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. XCloud Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 3.3K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 29% of XCloud Mobile's written reviews are positive against 20% of IPTV Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

XCloud Mobile ships an update every 6 weeks, IPTV Player fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
