# Splice vs VIMORY

The clearest difference is monetization model: VIMORY at free with in-app purchases against Splice's subscription. VIMORY also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 71%). Splice's advantage is ratings volume (429K vs 642) and chart position (#18 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Splice sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and VIMORY sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Splice against 4.7 for VIMORY. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Splice has 429K ratings behind it against 642, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Splice's written reviews are positive against 88% of VIMORY's.

Splice ships an update fortnightly, VIMORY every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
