# Decim8 vs Glitch Video

The clearest difference is price: Glitch Video at Free against Decim8's $0.99. Glitch Video also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (902 vs 149). Decim8's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 27 months). On review sentiment, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Glitch Video is free to download; Decim8 costs $0.99 up front. Glitch Video sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Decim8 asks for nothing beyond the download.

Glitch Video holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Glitch Video has 902 ratings behind it against 149, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 52% of Decim8's written reviews are positive against 44% of Glitch Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Decim8 ships an update weekly, Glitch Video every 27 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
