Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Towing Museum at none against LillyPlayer's 4. Towing Museum also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 18.6). LillyPlayer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
