Aurora BOX

Automatically matches XMLTV EPG data to entries in the user's own playlists. Fast switching between multiple audio tracks, with no overload or stuttering. Fast switching across subtitle formats (WebVTT, TTML/STPP, DVB, CEA-608/708), where other players require a long wait when changing subtitle tracks. First player on the Apple TV platform to support importing playlists with #KODIPROP directives. We plan to develop Aurora BOX into a cross-platform player. Supports high-bitrate media playback up to 8K/4K/HDR/HDR10.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Aurora BOX at none against IPTV Room's 5. IPTV Room's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
