Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Smarters Player Lite at 4.8 against IBO PLAYER's 2.8. Smarters Player Lite also leads on review sentiment (45% vs 14%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). IBO PLAYER's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
