Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Teak Browser at Free against APlayer's $0.99. Teak Browser also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 5 weeks) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). APlayer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (84% vs 71%). On ratings volume, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
