Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ALClient at 4.6 against CloudPlayPlus's 4.0. ALClient also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (12 vs 2). CloudPlayPlus's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
ALClient holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ALClient has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of ALClient's written reviews are positive against 100% of CloudPlayPlus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ALClient ships an update fortnightly, CloudPlayPlus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
