Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: holoplus at 70% against WS Player's 4%. holoplus also leads on rating (4.4 vs 1.9) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months). WS Player's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
