# Video Editor · vs Video Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Video Editor · at 4.7 against Video Maker's 4.2. Video Editor · also leads on ratings volume (218K vs 209) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). Video Maker's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Editor · sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Video Maker sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Editor · holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Editor · has 218K ratings behind it against 209, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Video Editor ·'s written reviews are positive against 20% of Video Maker's.

Video Editor · ships an update monthly, Video Maker weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
