Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: YouTube Create at none against Multi's 2. YouTube Create also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 1) and chart position (#127 vs unranked). Multi's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 65%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
