Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DepthVR at 5.0 against 360° VR Player's 1.5. DepthVR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). 360° VR Player's advantage is monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (13 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
