Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: VD OTT at none against LucidStreamer IPTV's 3. VD OTT also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). LucidStreamer IPTV's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
