E3DPlayer is a naked-eye 3D playback software app independently developed by Shenzhen3D Metaverse Technology Ltd. Its main features include 3D playback, 3D creation, real-time 2D to 3D conversion, and online 2D to 3D playback. The built-in eye-tracking technology captures the position of the user's eyes through the front camera, and based on the user's eye position and interpupillary distance, it customizes and generates a corresponding visual angle image in real-time. The 3D display algorithm adapts to various environments, with a neural network-based algorithm that automatically learns to make the image follow the user's eyes, ensuring consistent viewing experience. This significantly enhances the stability of the 3D display effect and viewing comfort.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: E3DPlayer at every 3 weeks against LavaRetro's every 3 months. E3DPlayer also leads on iOS requirement (17.5 vs 26.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
