Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Ulearn at 68% against Cloud Media Player's 25%. Ulearn also leads on rating (4.6 vs 2.9) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 months). Cloud Media Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
