Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Tiny Player at Free against Music Folders's $0.99. Tiny Player also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.8) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). Music Folders's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months). On review sentiment, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
