# iPTV Player + vs Stream Master

The clearest difference is ads: iPTV Player + at none against Stream Master's shown. iPTV Player + also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and rating (4.4 vs 4.2). Stream Master's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iPTV Player + sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Stream Master sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

iPTV Player + holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 18 and 5 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of iPTV Player +'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Stream Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

iPTV Player + ships an update weekly, Stream Master every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 6, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
