Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Infuse at 29K against VidHub's 3.1K. Infuse also leads on chart position (#182 vs unranked). VidHub's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
