Alternative AppleTV clients - anyone tried them? (lemmy.ml)

While looking for some alternatives to Swiftfin and Infuse, I've found these:

Reefy - mentioned here / GitHub
Fork of Swiftfin as the author was fed up with the lack of updates.
$8.99 one-time IAP

JellyTV - Homepage
£1.99/month, £29.99/year (looks like there's a discounted option at £14.99/year), or £39.99 for life.

The maths is not quite mathing here as the for-life IAP is £39.99, the familiy upgrade is another £39.99 which makes £79.98 total

but the "family-for-life" option is £89.99 for some reason. (Makes you wonder whether this was vibe-coded.)

Neptune - Homepage
Currently in beta and you need to ask on their Discord for the Testflight link.

Has anyone tried any of these?

Did Reefy actually add any serious improvements, or did they just merge existing PRs and then make the app paid?

    Okay so they just re-wrote the commit history?

    And it seems like the app is just an LLM-powered Liquid Glass UI refresh with some LLM-powered bug fixes. I get that Claude tokens are expensive, so I guess it's fine to charge money from the people that are happy about these changes. But it also feels a bit discrediting towards the Swiftfin authors...
