Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: GV at 4.3 against VideoLink's 1.8. GV also leads on ratings volume (1.7K vs 40) and review sentiment (22% vs 5%). VideoLink's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
