Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Gig Stack at 5.0 against Video +'s 4.4. Gig Stack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Video +'s advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (12K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
