Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Video Lite at 65% against Velocity HD's 8%. Video Lite also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 9 months) and chart position (#95 vs unranked). Velocity HD's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.1 vs 15.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
