UPlayer8 is a video player for watching TV channels, movies and series with your own streaming provider account. It works on iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac. UPlayer8 does not provide content. The app contains no channels, movies or series. You enter the account details given by your provider (server address, username and password) or an M3U playlist URL, and the app only plays those streams. Without an account from a legitimate provider, the app has no use for you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: UPlayer8 at none against QRtoTV's 2. UPlayer8 also leads on device support (4 vs 2). QRtoTV's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
