Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SkyCity at none against FIVEAA Player's shown. SkyCity also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). FIVEAA Player's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (27% vs 15%). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
