Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: OnlyIPTV at 5.0 against IPTV Core's 4.6. OnlyIPTV also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 6 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 83%). IPTV Core's advantage is ratings volume (31 vs 2) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
