Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: OPlayer Lite at 4.5 against QWE's 4.0. OPlayer Lite also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 9 months) and ratings volume (4.4K vs 470). QWE's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
