Verdict
ViewExif and Merge Videos both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of ViewExif's written reviews are positive against 27% of Merge Videos's. ViewExif also leads on chart position (#67 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Merge Videos's advantage is price (Free vs $0.99) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
