Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ADViSiON at 5.0 against Video +'s 4.5. ADViSiON also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). Video +'s advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
