Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Video + at free against video player's free with in-app purchases. Video + also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (12K vs 917). video player's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
