Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MX Media Player at none against Ulearn's 5. MX Media Player also leads on ads (none vs shown). Ulearn's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
