Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: DLR at 100% against Subtitle Player's 50%. DLR also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). Subtitle Player's advantage is rating (4.3 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Subtitle Player holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Subtitle Player has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Subtitle Player's written reviews are positive against 100% of DLR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Subtitle Player ships an update every 2 months, DLR monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 8, 2026 and June 1, 2026 respectively.
