Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: IPTVX at 4.4 against HBO Max FYC's 2.2. IPTVX also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 10%) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months). HBO Max FYC's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
