Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SmallBird at 5.0 against Galaxy Player's 4.0. SmallBird also leads on price ($1.99 vs $2.99). Galaxy Player's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 96 months) and ratings volume (4 vs 1). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
