Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vimlike at none against FastClip's 4. Vimlike also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and review sentiment (85% vs 73%). FastClip's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (179 vs 30). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
