Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: nPlayer Lite at Free against AM3U Pro's $0.99. nPlayer Lite also leads on ratings volume (3.8K vs 163). AM3U Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). On rating, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
