Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Alta Video at 3.9 against Pro's 3.4. Alta Video also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 8 months). Pro's advantage is review sentiment (55% vs 40%) and ratings volume (163 vs 17). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Alta Video holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro has 163 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 55% of Pro's written reviews are positive against 40% of Alta Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Pro ships an update every 8 months, Alta Video every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
