IPTVX and MyIPTV are the two premium IPTV players for Apple devices in 2026. Both aim to deliver a Netflix-quality experience for your IPTV providers — but they take very different approaches. Here's our honest comparison.
At a Glance
| Feature | MyIPTV | IPTVX |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Full player, ad-supported | 2-min popup, watermark |
| Languages | 30 | 7 |
| Provider types | 7 | 4 |
| Profiles | Up to 6 | Not available |
| Web portal | Yes | No |
| AI features | Yes (Pro) | Yes |
| Platforms | iOS, tvOS | iOS, tvOS, macOS, visionOS |
Free Tier: The Biggest Difference
This is where the two apps diverge most. MyIPTV's free tier is ad-supported but fully functional — 1 provider, the full dual-engine player, the guide, and all 30 languages. You can actually use the app daily. Upgrade to Pro for ad-free streaming, unlimited providers and more — with a 7-day free trial on the yearly plan.
IPTVX's free tier shows a purchase popup every 1-2 minutes of viewing and adds a watermark to the video. It's essentially a demo, not a usable app.
If you want to try before you buy, MyIPTV lets you actually use the app with ads. IPTVX forces you to subscribe before you can evaluate the experience.
Languages: 30 vs 7
IPTV is inherently global — providers serve content in dozens of languages. MyIPTV supports 30 interface languages, from English and Dutch to Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, and more. IPTVX offers 7 (English, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Spanish, Swedish).
If you or your family speak a language other than those 7, MyIPTV is the clear choice.
Provider Support
MyIPTV supports 7 provider types: Xtream Codes, Stalker Portal, M3U URL, M3U file, Plex, WebDAV/SMB, and local files. IPTVX supports Xtream Codes, M3U, Plex, and SMB.
Both apps cover Plex and SMB for personal media. The remaining difference: MyIPTV supports Stalker Portal (a popular provider format), which IPTVX doesn't. Your choice depends on your provider type.
Family & Profiles
MyIPTV offers up to 6 profiles (Pro), each with their own favorites, watch history, and recommendations. Kids mode with time limits keeps children safe.
IPTVX doesn't offer multi-profile support — everyone shares one experience.
Web Management Portal
MyIPTV pairs its apps with a web account portal. You can add providers, manage profiles, change settings, and handle your subscription from any browser — no need to navigate settings with a TV remote.
IPTVX has no web portal — everything must be configured on-device.
Where IPTVX Wins
To be fair, IPTVX has some advantages:
- macOS and visionOS support — MyIPTV is currently iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV only
- 7 years of App Store history — IPTVX launched in 2019 with 2,700+ ratings
- Media Server companion app — for recording to NAS devices
Pricing Comparison
IPTVX costs $3.99/month or $28.99/year for all features.
MyIPTV offers two plans: Free (1 provider, the full player) and Pro at €5.99/month — or €49.99/year with a 7-day free trial — for unlimited providers, downloads, DVR, recommendations and family sharing.
MyIPTV Pro is pricier, but includes ad-free streaming plus features IPTVX doesn't offer: a web portal, 30 languages, 6 profiles, and a genuinely usable free tier. The yearly Pro plan comes with a 7-day free trial, and subscribing through the web avoids Apple's 30% markup.
The Verdict
Choose MyIPTV if you want a usable free tier, multi-language support, family profiles, web management, or use Stalker Portal providers.
Choose IPTVX if you need macOS/visionOS support today, or prefer a single flat subscription.
Both are quality apps — but MyIPTV offers more value for the price.
