"Tv Box Lite" is a version of "Russia Tv Box" App. The app is the same, but it has some limitations: 1. Only one user is supported. 2. Display of the ads in the app. With this app the user should get a feeling if he likes the app and if he wants to switch to an unrestricted version. This app allows you to play the playlists of the TV channels in M3U format. The playlists can be downloaded from the Internet. You can create your own playlists and place them in a cloud service. Playlists may be offered by your Internet provider. In addition, you can use the app to manually create playlists, edit downloaded ones, or email them to your friends. "Russian Tv Box" is optimized for Russian TV stations. This applies to channel icons and "Electronic Program Guide" (EPG). Both features can be linked with the parameter "tvg-id" in the playlist. How to set this parameter is described on the page "https://iptvx.one/epg/epg_channels.php". Important: The app does not offer its own playlists! They have to be created and bound by you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ProgTV at Free against Tv Box Lite's $1.99. ProgTV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Tv Box Lite's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On device support there is nothing between them.
