Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: SpinVid at freemium against Vlog Star Maker's subscription. SpinVid also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 53%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Vlog Star Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 76) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
