Finer Player and Tromme both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 93% of Finer Player's written reviews are positive against 67% of Tromme's. Finer Player also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid) and ratings volume (35 vs 6). Tromme's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 9 days). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
