# Just Search vs Video Web

The clearest difference is update cadence: Video Web at fortnightly against Just Search's every 16 months. Video Web also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Just Search's advantage is price ($0.99 vs $1.99). On rating, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Just Search costs $0.99 and Video Web $1.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Just Search holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Web has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Just Search ships an update every 16 months, Video Web fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
