IronTV is a clean, native player for the Xtream Codes IPTV service you already subscribe to. It ships with no channels and no content β you provide the playlist URL from your own provider, and IronTV does the rest. FEATURES β’ One-step setup β paste the M3U playlist URL your provider gives you; IronTV reads the server and your credentials from it and validates them. The playlist file itself is never downloaded. β’ Browse by category, see every channel at once, or jump to your Favorites. β’ Instant search across your whole channel list. β’ Reliable live playback with automatic reconnection: if a stream stalls or freezes, IronTV recovers on its own. β’ Broad format support β channels that need it fall back to a built-in VLC engine, so more of your streams just play. β’ Full-screen viewing, remembers your last channel, and resumes where you left off. β’ Your account syncs privately across your devices through iCloud. Credentials are stored only in your Keychain β never on any server of ours. β’ Tune buffering and reconnection to match your connection. IronTV is a media player only. It does not provide, host, or sell any channels, subscriptions, or content. You are responsible for the service you connect it to and for holding the rights to what you watch. Requires a subscription from a compatible Xtream Codes provider.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: IronTV at every 4 days against HomeBrew Kit's every 5 weeks. HomeBrew Kit's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
