ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Speed Controller holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Speed Controller has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Video Speed Controller's written reviews are positive against 50% of BrowserPitchShifter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Video Speed Controller ships an update every 18 months, BrowserPitchShifter every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
