Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ZNS Player at Free against SOP's $0.99. ZNS Player also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). SOP's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
