# Image Size vs Video compressor

The clearest difference is update cadence: Video compressor at weekly against Image Size's fortnightly. Video compressor also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). Image Size's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 4.6K). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Image Size sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Video compressor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Image Size against 4.7 for Video compressor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Image Size has 30K ratings behind it against 4.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Image Size's written reviews are positive against 66% of Video compressor's.

Image Size ships an update fortnightly, Video compressor weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
