Verdict

The call

Video Maker and PicMov both sit at 4.0 stars, but that hides the real split: 64% of Video Maker's written reviews are positive against 11% of PicMov's. Video Maker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (10K vs 3). PicMov's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
