Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: WCETV at 67% against Tencent Video's 17%. WCETV also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.3) and in-app purchases (none vs 22). Tencent Video's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 9). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
