Taken from the US App Store listings on 20 October 2026. Smarters is cheaper and runs on Apple TV and older iPhones; if those matter most to you, it is the better fit.

Which IPTV Smarters is which?

Several App Store apps carry the Smarters name, from different developers: Smarters Player Lite is published by WHMCS SMARTERS, Smarters Pro by Tech Smarters Private Limited, and other apps use the name too. Check the developer on the App Store page to know which one you have.

Whichever it is, it is a player, like EDGE IPTV: your channels come from your IPTV provider, through an Xtream Codes login or an M3U link. That is why switching takes two minutes. The same details work in any player.
