Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ProMovie Recorder at 84% against Vicool's 7%. ProMovie Recorder also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (21K vs 18). Vicool's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
