Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Beebox at 5.0 against Video Player's 3.7. Beebox also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). Video Player's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1) and device support (5 vs 3). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Player sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Beebox sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Beebox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Player has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
