Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Video Converter at 4.5 against Format Conversion's 1.0. The Video Converter also leads on review sentiment (28% vs 0%) and ratings volume (10K vs 1). Format Conversion's advantage is update cadence (every 11 days vs every 4 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
