Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: The VideoKid at none against MultiGuys's shown. The VideoKid also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (776 vs 33). MultiGuys's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 36%) and rating (4.7 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
