Verdict

The call

miniMovie and 剪影 both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 90% of miniMovie's written reviews are positive against 55% of 剪影's. miniMovie also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). 剪影's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 154). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. miniMovie sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and 剪影 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

剪影 holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 剪影 has 2.6K ratings behind it against 154, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 90% of miniMovie's written reviews are positive against 55% of 剪影's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

miniMovie ships an update every 6 weeks, 剪影 every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
