# WeVideo vs Video Editor ‧

The clearest difference is monetization model: WeVideo at free with in-app purchases against Video Editor ‧'s subscription. Video Editor ‧'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (65% vs 51%). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WeVideo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Video Editor ‧ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

WeVideo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40K and 33K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of WeVideo's written reviews are positive against 65% of Video Editor ‧'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
