Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Float at 64% against The Video Converter's 28%. Float also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). The Video Converter's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
