Verdict

The call

PLI Mobile and LexVid both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of LexVid's written reviews are positive against 27% of PLI Mobile's. LexVid also leads on ratings volume (5.3K vs 80). PLI Mobile's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
