Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: SanDisk ibi at none against Video Compressor's 1. SanDisk ibi also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Video Compressor's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
