Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: RTÉ Player at 4.7 against GO+'s 2.3. RTÉ Player also leads on review sentiment (46% vs 10%) and ratings volume (6.3K vs 166). GO+'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
