Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Seven Player at free against XPTV's free with in-app purchases. Seven Player also leads on device support (6 vs 3) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). XPTV's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
