Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Bright NOW at none against Phenom Video's shown. Bright NOW also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Phenom Video's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (123 vs 6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
