Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Outplayer at 4.6 against StreamRecorder's 3.6. Outplayer also leads on review sentiment (86% vs 50%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). StreamRecorder's advantage is iOS requirement (15.1 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
