Great App, Overpriced

I actually really like this app. The functionality is excellent, and it does exactly what it claims to do. The standout feature compared with similar video compression apps is the ability to sort videos by file size and, even better, by the amount of storage you could save by compressing them. That makes it incredibly easy to find the videos that are actually worth processing.

There are plenty of completely free apps that can compress videos and achieve similar results, but for some reason almost all of them are missing this very useful sorting feature. That is what makes HEVCut genuinely better from a workflow perspective.

My only issue is the pricing. The weekly, monthly, annual, and lifetime options are structured in a way that makes the cheaper-duration plans feel intentionally unattractive, pushing you toward the annual or lifetime purchase. At the current lifetime price, it is hard for me to justify when free alternatives exist. If lifetime access were closer to $25–30, I would seriously consider buying it.

For now I’ll continue using free alternatives, but the app itself is very well designed, works as advertised, and has genuinely useful features that competitors are missing. Five stars for the product; I just wish the pricing were more reasonable.

Response from developer

Thank you for your thoughtful review. I appreciate you taking the time to compare HEVCut and explain its advantages and disadvantages and I’m always looking for new ways to make the app better. Feel free to text me directly by going into the app settings. I’m always looking for recommendations! Thanks Alejandro

Forced to pay for subscription even after cancelling

It doesn’t clearly say anything about the trial or promo version, I was charged just by downloading the app.

Love the app, but I personally feel like the UI is getting to cluttered and trying to do too much. Please just keep it simple.
HEVCut does have an edge with features, but it’s the support from the Developer, which I believe is very important. Discover a bug or have a suggestion and Alejandro is on it quickly with an update. I couldn’t be more happy about HEVCut and the Gb’s of saved space I now have. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
