# AI Video Generator + Creator vs Microsoft Designer

AI Video Generator + Creator and Microsoft Designer both sit at 4.3 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Microsoft Designer's written reviews are positive against 36% of AI Video Generator + Creator's. Microsoft Designer also leads on ads (none vs shown). AI Video Generator + Creator's advantage is ratings volume (15K vs 558) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Video Generator + Creator sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Microsoft Designer sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Microsoft Designer holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Video Generator + Creator has 15K ratings behind it against 558, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 36% of AI Video Generator + Creator's written reviews are positive against 76% of Microsoft Designer's.

AI Video Generator + Creator ships an update weekly, Microsoft Designer every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on November 15, 2026.
