Streamly is a clean, fast player for the IPTV playlists you already have — native on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV. Paste your M3U URL or Xtream Codes credentials and Streamly turns the raw playlist into a real interface: channel grid, movie and series posters, live preview, search, favorites, and Picture-in-Picture. You bring the IPTV. Streamly brings the player. HYBRID PLAYBACK ENGINE Streamly pairs Apple's native AVPlayer with a built-in VLC engine. AVPlayer handles standard streams (HLS, MP4, MKV); VLC takes over for exotic codecs and malformed playlists, with automatic fallback — so you stop seeing "format not supported." NATIVE ON EVERY APPLE DEVICE - iPhone — one-handed playback, Picture-in-Picture, voice search, offline downloads - iPad — multi-column layout with Split View - Mac — a real macOS app with sidebar and menu bar - Apple TV — full-screen poster art, focus-engine navigation, Siri Remote voice search One purchase covers them all — Streamly Pro uses Apple's Universal Purchase, so subscribing on one device unlocks Pro everywhere. FEATURES - M3U and Xtream Codes playlists - Live channel grid with EPG (when your provider supplies one) - Movies and series with posters, plot, year, and genre — optionally enriched from the open TMDB catalog - Continue Watching and personalized rails across your signed-in devices - Voice search via on-device speech recognition - Picture-in-Picture and background audio - AirPlay, Google Cast, and DLNA - Light, Dark, and Auto themes - Works fully anonymously; Sign in with Apple or Google is optional STREAMLY PRO Free includes 1 custom playlist plus 1 Quick Add list, 5 favorites, and 1 manual refresh per day. Upgrade to Pro for: - Unlimited playlists, favorites, and refreshes - Auto-refresh on a schedule (1h, 6h, 12h, 24h) - Offline downloads for movies and episodes - PIN-lock playlists (parental control) - Live channel auto-play and auto-play-next - Multi-device live sync of playlists, favorites, and history (free: playlist backup only) PRICING - Streamly Pro Monthly — $4.99 - Streamly Pro Annual — $19.99 with a 7-day free trial - Streamly Pro Lifetime — $59.99 one-time, every Apple device under your Apple ID Subscriptions auto-renew until cancelled; manage anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. PRIVACY No ads, no third-party trackers, no data sold. Your provider credentials stay in the device Keychain, encrypted by the OS. Streamly uses Firebase for crash reporting and anonymous analytics, and RevenueCat for subscriptions — both documented in the Privacy Policy. ABOUT IPTV Streamly is a player — comparable to VLC or a web browser. It does not host, distribute, sell, or recommend any video content. Every stream you load is one you supply, from a source you have a legal right to access. If you don't have a provider, the Quick Add rail offers a few free public-broadcast playlists (NASA TV, France 24, DW News, Al Jazeera English, and more) from the open iptv-org catalog.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Streamly at none against STRIMIX's shown. Streamly also leads on iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). STRIMIX's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (36 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
