# VLC Pal vs Evervideo

The clearest difference is rating: Evervideo at 4.6 against VLC Pal's 1.7. Evervideo also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 9). VLC Pal's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and review sentiment (66% vs 39%). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Evervideo sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. VLC Pal asks for nothing beyond the download.

Evervideo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Evervideo has 54 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of VLC Pal's written reviews are positive against 39% of Evervideo's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

VLC Pal ships an update every 5 weeks, Evervideo every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
