Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MX Player at 4.6 against PetChatz's 2.9. MX Player also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 15%) and ratings volume (4.9K vs 24). PetChatz's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MX Player sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. PetChatz asks for nothing beyond the download.
MX Player holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MX Player has 4.9K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of PetChatz's written reviews are positive against 57% of MX Player's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
