# Image Size vs Video Compressor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Image Size at 71% against Video Compressor's 15%. Image Size also leads on ratings volume (30K vs 436) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Video Compressor's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Image Size sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Video Compressor sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Image Size holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Image Size has 30K ratings behind it against 436, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Image Size's written reviews are positive against 15% of Video Compressor's.

Image Size ships an update fortnightly, Video Compressor monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
