Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shamel at none against IPTV Channels's 1. Shamel also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 17 months). IPTV Channels's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
