# MX Video Player vs QuietBox

The clearest difference is update cadence: QuietBox at every 9 days against MX Video Player's every 5 months. QuietBox also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). MX Video Player's advantage is ratings volume (5 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MX Video Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QuietBox sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for MX Video Player against 5.0 for QuietBox. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MX Video Player has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

MX Video Player ships an update every 5 months, QuietBox every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 30, 2026.
