# AI Video vs VideoGen

The clearest difference is rating: AI Video at 4.3 against VideoGen's 3.0. AI Video also leads on ratings volume (480 vs 4). VideoGen's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Video sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and VideoGen sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AI Video holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AI Video has 480 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of AI Video's written reviews are positive against 60% of VideoGen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AI Video ships an update every 5 weeks, VideoGen monthly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
