# VideoLUT vs LUT Studio

The clearest difference is rating: LUT Studio at 4.7 against VideoLUT's 4.3. On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VideoLUT sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and LUT Studio sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

LUT Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 356 and 806 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of VideoLUT's written reviews are positive against 65% of LUT Studio'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, LUT Studio every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
