Videos can take up a large share of your storage. Video Remover scans your library and groups potential cleanup candidates into easy-to-review categories. ■ Scan first, then decide Tap Scan and your videos are sorted into categories that are easy to judge: • Large videos (100 MB or larger) • Screen recordings • Slow-motion videos • Very short videos (recorded by accident) • Long videos, 10 minutes or longer (Pro) • Exact duplicates (Pro) • Similar videos, retakes shot back to back (Pro) ■ After you delete Every category shows how many videos it holds and how much space they use. Select what you don't need and delete it in one go. After deletion, the app shows the total size of the videos removed from your library. To reclaim the storage on your iPhone, you'll also need to empty Recently Deleted. ■ Check before you delete Play two videos side by side and compare file size, duration and resolution. For exact duplicates, the app recommends one copy to keep. For high-confidence similar groups, it may preselect the others. You can review every selection before deleting. ■ Storage at a glance Used and free space on your iPhone, plus the total size of all your videos, on the app's main screen. ■ The step almost everyone misses: "Recently Deleted" Videos you delete stay in the "Recently Deleted" album in the Photos app for up to 30 days and keep taking up storage that whole time. After a deletion, the app walks you through emptying that album — only then is the space really free. ■ Pro • Long videos, exact duplicates and similar videos • Sort by size, date, duration and resolution • Filter by duration • Play two videos at the same time • No ads Free up space without losing the videos that matter.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Google Drive at 4.8 against Video Remover's 4.2. Google Drive also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7.9M vs 102). Video Remover's advantage is iOS requirement (15 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
