Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Pickle Fans at none against XcastIPTV's shown. Pickle Fans also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). XcastIPTV's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
