Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Videoloft at 100% against FREEIP's 25%. Videoloft also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.4). FREEIP's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 66) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
