# Likee vs Node Video

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Likee at 563K against Node Video's 6.6K. Node Video's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Likee sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Node Video sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Likee against 4.7 for Node Video. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Likee has 563K ratings behind it against 6.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 52% of Likee's written reviews are positive against 67% of Node Video's.

Likee ships an update weekly, Node Video fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
