Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Radio Ranchito at Free against AUVideoPlayer's $5.99. Radio Ranchito also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and ratings volume (59 vs 11). AUVideoPlayer's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Radio Ranchito is free to download; AUVideoPlayer costs $5.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
AUVideoPlayer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Radio Ranchito has 59 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Radio Ranchito's written reviews are positive against 67% of AUVideoPlayer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Radio Ranchito ships an update every 5 weeks, AUVideoPlayer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
