Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VU IPTV PLAYER at 56% against IPTV Plus's 20%. VU IPTV PLAYER also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). IPTV Plus's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months) and device support (5 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
