Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Video Widget at none against OC's shown. Video Widget also leads on ratings volume (540 vs 19). OC's advantage is review sentiment (70% vs 40%) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
