# IPTV Player vs IPTV Plus

The clearest difference is ratings volume: IPTV Player at 3.5K against IPTV Plus's 214. IPTV Plus's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and IPTV Plus sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

IPTV Plus holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Player has 3.5K ratings behind it against 214, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 21% and 21% positive.

IPTV Player ships an update fortnightly, IPTV Plus every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
