Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Chop Video at none against Split Video's shown. Chop Video also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Split Video's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (5K vs 54). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Video sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per year and Chop Video sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Split Video holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Split Video has 5K ratings behind it against 54, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of Split Video's written reviews are positive against 56% of Chop Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Split Video ships an update every 2 months, Chop Video monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
