# Video Editor ‧ vs Video Editor ®

The clearest difference is monetization model: Video Editor ® at free with in-app purchases against Video Editor ‧'s subscription. Video Editor ‧'s advantage is ratings volume (33K vs 2.1K). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence 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 ® sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Editor ® 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 2.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Video Editor ‧'s written reviews are positive against 60% of Video Editor ®'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
