# VideoLUT vs Desqueeze PRO

The clearest difference is price: VideoLUT at Free against Desqueeze PRO's $14.99. VideoLUT also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 weeks) and review sentiment (68% vs 56%). Desqueeze PRO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

VideoLUT is free to download; Desqueeze PRO costs $14.99 up front. VideoLUT sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Desqueeze PRO asks for nothing beyond the download.

Desqueeze PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VideoLUT has 356 ratings behind it against 57, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of VideoLUT's written reviews are positive against 56% of Desqueeze PRO's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VideoLUT ships an update every 3 days, Desqueeze PRO every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
