Verdict

The call

Filmmaker Pro and Vimeo Create both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 67% of Filmmaker Pro's written reviews are positive against 47% of Vimeo Create's. Filmmaker Pro also leads on chart position (#190 vs unranked) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Vimeo Create's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
