Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RTÉ Player at 4.7 against SpeedQuizzing's 3.1. RTÉ Player also leads on ratings volume (6.3K vs 59). SpeedQuizzing's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (64% vs 46%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
RTÉ Player holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: RTÉ Player has 6.3K ratings behind it against 59, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of SpeedQuizzing's written reviews are positive against 46% of RTÉ Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 10, 2026.
