Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: IPTV Streamer Max at Free against IP Television's $1.99. IPTV Streamer Max also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). IP Television's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On rating, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
