Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Video Player at 89% against ScriptCam's 25%. Video Player also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). ScriptCam's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
