# Desqueeze vs Node Video

The clearest difference is chart position: Node Video at #141 against Desqueeze's unranked. Node Video also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 775) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Desqueeze sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and Node Video sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Desqueeze against 4.7 for Node Video. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Node Video has 6.4K ratings behind it against 775, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Desqueeze's written reviews are positive against 68% of Node Video's.
