LillyPlayer's advantage is review sentiment (58% vs 41%) and ratings volume (714 vs 128). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LillyPlayer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Tivix IPTV Player sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 6 months. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
