Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Carat at 84% against iMediaPlayer's 20%. Carat also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). iMediaPlayer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 17) and ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
