Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: KMPlayer at 4.3 against The Spot Player's 3.5. KMPlayer also leads on ratings volume (3.2K vs 2). The Spot Player's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
