# IPTV M3U vs M3U URL Viewer

The clearest difference is rating: M3U URL Viewer at 5.0 against IPTV M3U's 4.4. M3U URL Viewer also leads on ads (none vs shown). IPTV M3U's advantage is ratings volume (55 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 26.4). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV M3U sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and M3U URL Viewer sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

M3U URL Viewer holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV M3U has 55 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
