Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smarter Player + at 4.8 against IPTV's 4.3. IPTV's advantage is ratings volume (1.9K vs 62) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. IPTV sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Smarter Player + sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Smarter Player + holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV has 1.9K ratings behind it against 62, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 2% of IPTV's written reviews are positive against 0% of Smarter Player +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
IPTV ships an update every 3 weeks, Smarter Player + every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 8, 2026.
