Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RSS Video Player at 3.9 against Hong Kong Toolbar's 3.4. RSS Video Player also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). Hong Kong Toolbar's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (65 vs 10). On price, review sentiment, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
