Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: RedirectWeb Pro at 5.0 against AirPlayer's 3.7. RedirectWeb Pro also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months) and price ($3.99 vs $4.99). AirPlayer's advantage is ratings volume (36 vs 3) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
