Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Velo at 5.0 against VideoDuck's 4.5. Velo also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). VideoDuck's advantage is update cadence (daily vs fortnightly) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
