# StreamX vs IPTV

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: IPTV at none against StreamX's 9. IPTV also leads on ratings volume (343 vs 26) and review sentiment (90% vs 81%). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StreamX sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. IPTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for StreamX against 4.6 for IPTV. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IPTV has 343 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 81% of StreamX's written reviews are positive against 90% of IPTV's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
