Verdict
ELK PLAYER and King IPTV Pro both sit at 4.5 stars, but that hides the real split: 50% of King IPTV Pro's written reviews are positive against 11% of ELK PLAYER's. King IPTV Pro also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (30 vs 4). ELK PLAYER's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
