Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Iris at Free against IPTV Player's $1.99. Iris also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). IPTV Player's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
