Verdict

The call

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.
