Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Smart Player at none against Best IPTV's shown. Smart Player also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Best IPTV's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
