Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Videwatch at 80% against MX Player's 33%. Videwatch also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). MX Player's advantage is price (Free vs $1.99) and ratings volume (4.3K vs 377). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
