The call

The clearest difference is rating: LillyPlayer at 4.6 against X17 Video's 3.0. LillyPlayer also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 71 months) and ratings volume (714 vs 1). X17 Video's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
