The Purple line in the catalog: Purple Easy, V10 and V12 — what changes between versions
Purple Player is a lesser-known but stable line, popular in Europe and growing in North America. Three versions in the catalog: Easy, V10 and V12. Here are the quick differences.
Purple Player was born in Europe with a focus on stability and minimalism. In North America it has become an option for resellers who want to stand out from the "Smarters saturation."
The catalog carries 3 Purple versions:
PURPLE EASY
The "easy" version — simplified UI, fewer config options, higher stability. Built so the customer does not get lost in menus.
When to use it: non-technical customer, customer who complained about Smarters for having "too many buttons," older customer.
PURPLE V10
Version 10, the middle ground. More features than Easy but lighter than V12.
When to use it: balance — customer who wants features (favorites, multi-DNS, EPG) but without V12's complexity.
PURPLE V12
The newest, most complete version. More features, better UI, support for multiple themes.
When to use it: power-user customer who already knows IPTV and wants "all the options."
How to choose between Purple and Smarters
| If your customer... | Best option |
| --- | --- |
| Is new to IPTV | Purple Easy or Smarter V4.03 |
| Wants a different look from "standard Smarters" | Purple V12 |
| Has a heavy VOD catalog | Smarter Netflix |
| Has an older Smart TV | IBO 4.3 |
| Has Roku | Thunder Player |
One detail to keep in mind
Purple apps have a smaller base of online tutorials than Smarters/IBO. If your customer is the type to Google their problems, they will find fewer answers with Purple. For customers who call your WhatsApp directly for everything, this does not matter.
