# Split Video Maker Camera vs Side by side video

The clearest difference is rating: Side by side video at 4.0 against Split Video Maker Camera's 2.9. Side by side video also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 36 months) and ratings volume (705 vs 89). Split Video Maker Camera's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Video Maker Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Side by side video sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Side by side video holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Side by side video has 705 ratings behind it against 89, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 10% of Split Video Maker Camera's written reviews are positive against 7% of Side by side video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Split Video Maker Camera ships an update every 36 months, Side by side video every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
