Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: mconnect Player Lite at 61% against DELA USB's 18%. mconnect Player Lite also leads on ratings volume (42 vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). DELA USB's advantage is rating (4.0 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
DELA USB holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: mconnect Player Lite has 42 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of mconnect Player Lite's written reviews are positive against 18% of DELA USB's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
mconnect Player Lite ships an update every 3 weeks, DELA USB every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
