# IPTV Player vs Flixtra Player

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flixtra Player at 100% against IPTV Player's 33%. Flixtra Player also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 1) and update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Flixtra Player sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flixtra Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 33% of IPTV Player's written reviews are positive against 100% of Flixtra Player's.

IPTV Player ships an update every 10 days, Flixtra Player monthly. Both last shipped on November 4, 2026.
