Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IPTV Player at 4.3 against PXE's 3.5. IPTV Player also leads on review sentiment (39% vs 0%) and ratings volume (937 vs 4). PXE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
