# JTPlayer vs Media Pro ‣

JTPlayer and Media Pro ‣ both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 82% of JTPlayer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Media Pro ‣'s. JTPlayer also leads on ratings volume (38 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Media Pro ‣'s advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. JTPlayer sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Media Pro ‣ sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for JTPlayer against 4.2 for Media Pro ‣. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: JTPlayer has 38 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 82% of JTPlayer's written reviews are positive against 67% of Media Pro ‣'s.

JTPlayer ships an update fortnightly, Media Pro ‣ every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
