Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: MX Video Player at 5.0 against Offline Media's 4.2. MX Video Player also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.5). Offline Media's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (137 vs 5). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Offline Media sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and MX Video Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
MX Video Player holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Offline Media has 137 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Offline Media ships an update every 3 weeks, MX Video Player every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
