# RSS Video Player vs Y.A.P

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Y.A.P at 100% against RSS Video Player's 21%. Y.A.P also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). RSS Video Player's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RSS Video Player sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Y.A.P sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Y.A.P holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RSS Video Player has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 21% of RSS Video Player's written reviews are positive against 100% of Y.A.P's.

RSS Video Player ships an update every 2 weeks, Y.A.P weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
