Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Instagram at Free against Double Video Player Pro's $1.99. Instagram also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.7) and update cadence (weekly vs every 23 months). Double Video Player Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 12) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
