Verdict
PlayerKit and TuneWave both sit at 5.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 89% of TuneWave's written reviews are positive against 50% of PlayerKit's. TuneWave also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 5). PlayerKit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
