# ST TV vs Mega IPTV

The clearest difference is rating: Mega IPTV at 4.5 against ST TV's 2.5. Mega IPTV also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks) and ratings volume (3.6K vs 4). ST TV's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mega IPTV sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. ST TV asks for nothing beyond the download.

Mega IPTV holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mega IPTV has 3.6K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of ST TV's written reviews are positive against 45% of Mega IPTV's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ST TV ships an update every 5 weeks, Mega IPTV weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
