Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FilePlayer at none against File Explorer & Player's 4. FilePlayer also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). File Explorer & Player's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
