Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FC2Video Studio at none against WMDPlayer's shown. FC2Video Studio also leads on rating (4.3 vs 4.1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.4). WMDPlayer's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (10 vs 3). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
