The clearest difference is ratings volume: Video Star at 90K against Velomingo's 1.1K. Video Star also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 34%) and chart position (#88 vs unranked). Velomingo's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
