Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TubeFM at 3.5 against FMA Player's 3.0. TubeFM also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 2). FMA Player's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TubeFM holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 2 and 6 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of FMA Player's written reviews are positive against 33% of TubeFM's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
FMA Player ships an update every 2 weeks, TubeFM every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
