Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VLT Player at 5.0 against Palki TV's 2.9. VLT Player also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Palki TV's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
