Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: NetTV at none against AM3U's shown. NetTV also leads on review sentiment (58% vs 43%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). AM3U's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 16.0). On price, rating, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
