Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: InVid Protect at 3.4 against VideoLink's 1.8. VideoLink's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (40 vs 5). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
InVid Protect holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VideoLink has 40 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of InVid Protect's written reviews are positive against 5% of VideoLink's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
InVid Protect ships an update every 5 months, VideoLink monthly. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
