Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: GoodPlayer at none against 虹ぶら+'s shown. GoodPlayer also leads on price ($2.99 vs $7.99) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). 虹ぶら+'s advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 37%) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
