Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Liquid Player at Free against OPlayer's $2.99. Liquid Player also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (78% vs 70%). OPlayer's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (961 vs 67). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

OPlayer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OPlayer has 961 ratings behind it against 67, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of OPlayer's written reviews are positive against 78% of Liquid Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

OPlayer ships an update every 2 months, Liquid Player weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
