Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: JellyTV at Free against IPTV App's $2.99. JellyTV also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (38 vs 1). IPTV App's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 11). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
