Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PicFrame Mate at none against Video Compressor's 16. PicFrame Mate also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). Video Compressor's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 5 weeks) and device support. On price there is nothing between them.
