Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: VIDEO at 80% against Pip's 41%. VIDEO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Pip's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Pip holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pip has 1.5K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of VIDEO's written reviews are positive against 41% of Pip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
VIDEO ships an update every 5 months, Pip every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
