Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: IPTV at 100% against Shot Shorts's 39%. IPTV also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Shot Shorts's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (464 vs 32). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
