Simple Video Gallery edges out WP YouTube Lyte on rating (5.0★ vs 4.8★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.
WP YouTube Lyte has the larger user base (206 reviews vs 2), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Simple Video Gallery's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.
Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Simple Video Gallery; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — WP YouTube Lyte's 206-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Simple Video Gallery's broader-but-shallower coverage.
