Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: iVMS at none against MX Player's 1. iVMS also leads on review sentiment (50% vs 34%) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 12.0). MX Player's advantage is ratings volume (4.3K vs 75) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
