Verdict
The clearest difference is price: MVPlayer.app at Free against SpatialCamera's $3.99. MVPlayer.app also leads on device support (4 vs 2). SpatialCamera's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
