Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: BNPlayer Light at none against SongSeed's 3. BNPlayer Light also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). SongSeed's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 15 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
