# Video Compressor vs iResize Video Compressor

The clearest difference is rating: Video Compressor at 4.7 against iResize Video Compressor's 4.5. Video Compressor also leads on ratings volume (2.2K vs 239) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Compressor sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year and iResize Video Compressor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. 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 2.2K ratings behind it against 239, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 81% of Video Compressor's written reviews are positive against 88% of iResize Video Compressor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Video Compressor ships an update every 5 weeks, iResize Video Compressor every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
