# Video Editor ‧ vs Video Editor Effects

Video Editor ‧ and Video Editor Effects both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 65% of Video Editor ‧'s written reviews are positive against 13% of Video Editor Effects's. Video Editor ‧ also leads on ratings volume (33K vs 879). Video Editor Effects's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Editor ‧ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Video Editor Effects sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Editor Effects holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Editor ‧ has 33K ratings behind it against 879, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Video Editor ‧'s written reviews are positive against 13% of Video Editor Effects's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Video Editor ‧ ships an update every 3 weeks, Video Editor Effects every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
