# OnlyIPTV vs IPTV Core

The clearest difference is rating: OnlyIPTV at 5.0 against IPTV Core's 4.5. OnlyIPTV also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). IPTV Core's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OnlyIPTV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and IPTV Core sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

OnlyIPTV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV Core has 24 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of OnlyIPTV's written reviews are positive against 83% of IPTV Core's.

OnlyIPTV ships an update every 9 days, IPTV Core monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 14, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
