Powered by GPUImage and Swift, VideoShop is a handy and small app which can process image or video with interesting and adjustable filters. It has some "unusual" functions which common video processing apps do not provide. You can crop a video and extract the only part you need to show others. You can rotate an image or video which is not in the correct orientation, change it to a sketch or painting, blur or pixellate part of it, make it a distorting mirror or apply many other effects. And what is more, all those effects can be merged into the orginal image by a hand drawing mask. You can also add a timestamp to your camera recording. NOTE:Please allow VideoShop to access your photo library so it can save processed image or video clip to it.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: VideoPad at none against VideoShop's shown. VideoPad also leads on rating (3.9 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (426 vs 20). VideoShop's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 12.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. VideoShop sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and VideoPad sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
VideoPad holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: VideoPad has 426 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 39% and 39% positive.
VideoShop ships an update every 2 weeks, VideoPad every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
