Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: King Stream Player at none against IPTV Core's 2. King Stream Player also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). IPTV Core's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

IPTV Core holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 20 and 31 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of King Stream Player's written reviews are positive against 83% of IPTV Core's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
