Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Player at 4.5 against IPTV's 3.0. IPTV Player also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). IPTV's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
