Verdict
The clearest difference is price: iProTV at Free against QuadStream's $0.99. iProTV also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (73 vs 12). QuadStream's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 3.6) and device support (5 vs 3). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
