Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Vimeo Create at none against WeVideo's shown. Vimeo Create also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. WeVideo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Vimeo Create sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Vimeo Create holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 40K and 49K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of WeVideo's written reviews are positive against 47% of Vimeo Create's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

WeVideo ships an update every 3 weeks, Vimeo Create fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
