Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Reelgood at none against PlayOn Cloud's 10. Reelgood also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (10K vs 2K). PlayOn Cloud's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (62% vs 49%). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Reelgood against 4.6 for PlayOn Cloud.
