Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: VideoCopy at 4.5 against LinkYPlayer's 3.0. VideoCopy also leads on ratings volume (10K vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). LinkYPlayer's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 28%) and in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

VideoCopy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VideoCopy has 10K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of LinkYPlayer's written reviews are positive against 28% of VideoCopy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

LinkYPlayer ships an update monthly, VideoCopy every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
