Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FloatPlayer at none against Simideo's 1. FloatPlayer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 16 months). Simideo's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
