Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ArtIPTV at none against Play IPTV Player's 3. ArtIPTV also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 13.0). Play IPTV Player's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 19 months) and ratings volume (64 vs 3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
