Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Universal at none against IPTV Pro's 3. Universal also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.6). IPTV Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
