Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: X Factor Tech at none against VeloBeam's 4. X Factor Tech also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and device support (3 vs 1). VeloBeam's advantage is ratings volume (50 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VeloBeam sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. X Factor Tech asks for nothing beyond the download.
X Factor Tech holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VeloBeam has 50 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
