# KDM Inspector vs MKV PiP Player

The clearest difference is rating: MKV PiP Player at 4.7 against KDM Inspector's 4.0. MKV PiP Player also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 38 months) and ratings volume (68 vs 1). KDM Inspector's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

KDM Inspector costs $2.99 and MKV PiP Player $0.99 up front. MKV PiP Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. KDM Inspector asks for nothing beyond the download.

MKV PiP Player holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MKV PiP Player has 68 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of KDM Inspector's written reviews are positive against 94% of MKV PiP Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

KDM Inspector ships an update every 38 months, MKV PiP Player every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
