Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: OpenVision at 100% against YingBox's 50%. OpenVision also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.1) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). YingBox's advantage is price (Free vs $12.99) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 months). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
