Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: AM3U Pro at 4.7 against hPlayer's 3.9. AM3U Pro also leads on monetization model (free vs paid) and iOS requirement (9.3 vs 13.0). hPlayer's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 44%). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

AM3U Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 71 and 163 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of hPlayer's written reviews are positive against 44% of AM3U Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
