# VideoShop vs Video Editor

The clearest difference is rating: Video Editor at 4.7 against VideoShop's 3.5. Video Editor also leads on review sentiment (69% vs 39%) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 20). VideoShop's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VideoShop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Video Editor sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Editor has 7.1K ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 39% of VideoShop's written reviews are positive against 69% of Video Editor's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
