# KMPlayer vs Infuse

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KMPlayer at none against Infuse's 7. KMPlayer also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Infuse's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (28K vs 3.2K). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Infuse sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. KMPlayer asks for nothing beyond the download.

Infuse holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Infuse has 28K ratings behind it against 3.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of KMPlayer's written reviews are positive against 60% of Infuse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KMPlayer ships an update every 9 days, Infuse fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
