Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Streamer at 4.5 against Hot Player's 3.9. IPTV Streamer also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 13) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). Hot Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
