# TV Smart Player vs Televix

The clearest difference is rating: Televix at 4.1 against TV Smart Player's 3.5. Televix also leads on review sentiment (40% vs 13%). TV Smart Player's advantage is ratings volume (552 vs 32) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TV Smart Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Televix sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Televix holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TV Smart Player has 552 ratings behind it against 32, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 13% of TV Smart Player's written reviews are positive against 40% of Televix's.

TV Smart Player ships an update every 6 days, Televix fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
