Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LaView at 4.7 against VideoLink's 1.8. LaView also leads on review sentiment (37% vs 5%) and ratings volume (22K vs 40). VideoLink's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
