Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: JTPlayer at 82% against GoodPlayer's 37%. JTPlayer also leads on rating (4.3 vs 3.0) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.0). GoodPlayer's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
