Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ADI at Free against mconnect Player HD's $5.99. ADI also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.4) and review sentiment (75% vs 49%). mconnect Player HD's advantage is ratings volume (32 vs 5) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
