Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ViplexHandy at 2.4 against FkPlayer's 1.0. ViplexHandy also leads on review sentiment (12% vs 0%) and ratings volume (29 vs 4). FkPlayer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
