# LumaFusion vs VideoLUT

The clearest difference is price: VideoLUT at Free against LumaFusion's $29.99. VideoLUT also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). LumaFusion's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (25K vs 356). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

VideoLUT is free to download; LumaFusion costs $29.99 up front. LumaFusion sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and VideoLUT sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LumaFusion holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LumaFusion has 25K ratings behind it against 356, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of LumaFusion's written reviews are positive against 68% of VideoLUT's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

LumaFusion ships an update monthly, VideoLUT every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 20, 2026.
