The clearest difference is rating: GidaTV at 5.0 against Pro IPTV Player's 4.4. GidaTV also leads on ads (none vs shown) and device support (4 vs 2). Pro IPTV Player's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price there is nothing between them.
