Verdict
The clearest difference is price: InShot at Free against Perfect Video's $4.99. InShot also leads on ratings volume (2.5M vs 919) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). Perfect Video's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On rating, review sentiment, chart position and device support there is nothing between them.
