Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: N at none against MPDPlayer's 1. N also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). MPDPlayer's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 20 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
