# KMPlayer vs NetTV

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: KMPlayer at none against NetTV's 1. KMPlayer also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (3.2K vs 383). NetTV's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. NetTV sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. KMPlayer asks for nothing beyond the download.

NetTV holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: KMPlayer has 3.2K ratings behind it against 383, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of KMPlayer's written reviews are positive against 58% of NetTV'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, NetTV every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
