Verdict
The clearest difference is price: SimpleCut Video at Free against Videocraft's $0.99. SimpleCut Video also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). Videocraft's advantage is ratings volume (405 vs 6) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
