# Node Video vs Wink

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Wink at 51K against Node Video's 6.4K. Wink also leads on chart position (#53 vs #175). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Node Video sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per month and Wink sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Node Video against 4.7 for Wink. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Wink has 51K ratings behind it against 6.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 68% of Node Video's written reviews are positive against 70% of Wink's.

Node Video ships an update fortnightly, Wink every 8 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
