Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: LillyPlayer at 4.6 against iProTV's 3.6. LillyPlayer also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (714 vs 77). iProTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
