Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Dingoo at none against Reel Player's shown. Dingoo also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). Reel Player's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
