Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: rPlayer at 3.8 against Web Recorder's 3.0. rPlayer also leads on review sentiment (55% vs 31%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Web Recorder's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (1.2K vs 303). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
