Verdict

The call

iTV and IPTV Player both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of iTV's written reviews are positive against 33% of IPTV Player's. iTV also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). IPTV Player's advantage is ratings volume (42 vs 5) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
