Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GET Mobile ID at 4.7 against VLC Light Stream's 3.1. GET Mobile ID also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). VLC Light Stream's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (40% vs 17%). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GET Mobile ID sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per year. VLC Light Stream asks for nothing beyond the download.
GET Mobile ID holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GET Mobile ID has 6.1K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of VLC Light Stream's written reviews are positive against 17% of GET Mobile ID's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VLC Light Stream ships an update every 5 months, GET Mobile ID every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
