The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reeltime Viewer at none against iPhantom's 3. Reeltime Viewer also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). iPhantom's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

iPhantom holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iPhantom has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
