Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IFT Network TV at 100% against RTP Play's 23%. IFT Network TV also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.8) and ads (none vs shown). RTP Play's advantage is ratings volume (44 vs 5) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IFT Network TV holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RTP Play has 44 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 23% of RTP Play's written reviews are positive against 100% of IFT Network TV's.
