How to choose
If you watch mostly on one device, pick whichever player feels better on it; both play the same login. Many people keep two players installed and switch when one misbehaves.
Cost and setup
Both install in a few minutes and take the same login, so trying one costs nothing but time. IBO Player and TiviMate charge a fee to the developer, separate from any IPTV plan. Moving between them later means signing in again and rebuilding favorites; your channels stay the same.
Where Ultra 8K IPTV fits
Ultra 8K IPTV works in both: its login comes as Xtream Codes details plus an M3U link, so you can switch players without changing anything on your plan.
