Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Backyard Social at none against IPTV EDGE Smart Player's 5. Backyard Social also leads on ads (none vs shown). IPTV EDGE Smart Player's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
