Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IPTV App at 100% against EPlay's 33%. IPTV App also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). EPlay's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
