ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Compressor & Reduce size holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Compressor & Reduce size has 1.3K ratings behind it against 33, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of Video Compressor & Reduce size's written reviews are positive against 100% of WhatStatHD's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Video Compressor & Reduce size ships an update every 11 days, WhatStatHD every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
