Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YBIPTV Player at none against Zaplix IPTV's 1. YBIPTV Player also leads on ads (none vs shown). Zaplix IPTV's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
