# Vimeo vs Frame.io

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Frame.io at none against Vimeo's 13. Vimeo's advantage is ratings volume (12K vs 908) and chart position (#14 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Vimeo sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $11.99 per month. Frame.io asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Vimeo against 4.4 for Frame.io. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Vimeo has 12K ratings behind it against 908, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 49% of Vimeo's written reviews are positive against 50% of Frame.io's.

Vimeo ships an update every 2 weeks, Frame.io fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
