# Video Editor ® vs Linx

The clearest difference is rating: Linx at 4.8 against Video Editor ®'s 4.6. Linx also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (70% vs 60%). Video Editor ®'s advantage is ratings volume (2.1K vs 212) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Editor ® sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Linx sells 39 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Linx holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Editor ® has 2.1K ratings behind it against 212, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Video Editor ®'s written reviews are positive against 70% of Linx's.

Video Editor ® ships an update every 3 weeks, Linx weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and August 18, 2026 respectively.
