Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FirePlayer at 4.5 against Cloud Media Player's 2.9. FirePlayer also leads on review sentiment (63% vs 25%) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months). Cloud Media Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 13.0). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
