Verdict

The call

剪影 and KineMaster both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of KineMaster's written reviews are positive against 55% of 剪影's. KineMaster also leads on ratings volume (42K vs 2.5K). 剪影's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 days) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 剪影 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and KineMaster sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $8.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
