Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
OttPlayertv holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.2K and 9.3K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of KMPlayer's written reviews are positive against 48% of OttPlayertv'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, OttPlayertv fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
