# Vlog Star Maker vs SpinVid

The clearest difference is monetization model: SpinVid at freemium against Vlog Star Maker's subscription. SpinVid also leads on review sentiment (74% vs 53%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). Vlog Star Maker's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 76) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vlog Star Maker sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and SpinVid sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Vlog Star Maker against 4.6 for SpinVid. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vlog Star Maker has 1.2K ratings behind it against 76, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 53% of Vlog Star Maker's written reviews are positive against 74% of SpinVid's.

Vlog Star Maker ships an update every 2 months, SpinVid every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
