Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: IPTV at weekly against IPTV Player's monthly. IPTV also leads on ratings volume (322 vs 12) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.2). IPTV Player's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 90%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
