Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Flex IPTV at none against IPTV Smarters Player PRO's shown. IPTV Smarters Player PRO's advantage is ratings volume (1.4K vs 13) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
