# AppTV vs IPTV Player

The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Player at 4.3 against AppTV's 1.0. IPTV Player also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and ratings volume (927 vs 1). AppTV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 16) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 15.1). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IPTV Player sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. AppTV asks for nothing beyond the download.

IPTV Player holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0.
