OopsPlayer's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OopsPlayer sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Cinematic Player sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
