Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Pro Moviemaker Premium at none against Upscale Pro's shown. Pro Moviemaker Premium also leads on iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.1). Upscale Pro's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
