Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MEO Go at 3.9 against TVI Player's 3.4. MEO Go also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). TVI Player's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ratings volume, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
