Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IMA Video Suite Inspector at 4.3 against Microsoft Surface's 3.2. Microsoft Surface's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
