Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Zeflix at none against 123Play's 1. Zeflix also leads on rating (4.1 vs 3.7) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. 123Play sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Zeflix asks for nothing beyond the download.
Zeflix holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 7K and 7.2K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 15% of 123Play's written reviews are positive against 13% of Zeflix's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
