Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Amazon Prime Video at 4.8 against Tencent Video's 3.3. Amazon Prime Video also leads on ratings volume (3.1M vs 1.1K) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). Tencent Video's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Amazon Prime Video sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $2.99 per month and Tencent Video sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
