Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: VidHub at Free against AVPlayer's $2.99. VidHub also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (3.1K vs 281). AVPlayer's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 16.0). On review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VidHub holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VidHub has 3.1K ratings behind it against 281, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of AVPlayer's written reviews are positive against 69% of VidHub's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

AVPlayer ships an update every 3 weeks, VidHub fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
