Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Squigglish! at none against WeVideo's 10. Squigglish! also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks). WeVideo's advantage is ratings volume (40K vs 12). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for WeVideo against 4.5 for Squigglish!.
