The call

The clearest difference is price: Video4Mail at Free against Video Compressor's $1.99. Video4Mail also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8).

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video4Mail holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Compressor has 22 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Video Compressor's written reviews are positive against 64% of Video4Mail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Video Compressor ships an update every 2 months, Video4Mail every 6 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
