Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ntPlayer at Free against AM3U Pro's $0.99. ntPlayer also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 44%). AM3U Pro's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On ratings volume and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

AM3U Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 83 and 163 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of ntPlayer'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.
