Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ApexMediaPlayer at none against Ocular IPTV's 1. ApexMediaPlayer also leads on iOS requirement (18.4 vs 26.0). Ocular IPTV's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
