Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: The Video Converter at 4.5 against File Converter's 3.8. The Video Converter also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (10K vs 473). File Converter's advantage is review sentiment (46% vs 28%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. File Converter sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and The Video Converter sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
The Video Converter holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: The Video Converter has 10K ratings behind it against 473, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of File Converter's written reviews are positive against 28% of The Video Converter's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
File Converter ships an update every 3 months, The Video Converter every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
