The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: OPlayer at 70% against Qvideo's 15%. OPlayer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.9) and ratings volume (961 vs 20). Qvideo's advantage is price (Free vs $2.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 5). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
