# Video Compressor vs Video Compressor Pro

The clearest difference is ads: Video Compressor at none against Video Compressor Pro's shown. Video Compressor also leads on ratings volume (485 vs 2) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Video Compressor Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Compressor sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.00 per 7 days and Video Compressor Pro sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Compressor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Compressor has 485 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Video Compressor ships an update every 3 weeks, Video Compressor Pro every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 18, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
