# Video + vs Gig Stack

The clearest difference is rating: Gig Stack at 5.0 against Video +'s 4.4. Gig Stack also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (100% vs 79%). Video +'s advantage is monetization model (free vs paid) and ratings volume (12K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video + sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Gig Stack sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Gig Stack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video + has 12K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of Video +'s written reviews are positive against 100% of Gig Stack's.

Video + ships an update every 2 weeks, Gig Stack every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
