Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OpenApp at 100% against VideoMate's 0%. OpenApp also leads on price (Free vs $0.99) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). VideoMate's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 1.0) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
