Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: FilmFeed App at none against RTÉ Player's shown. FilmFeed App also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). RTÉ Player's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
