Record your life on tape. Export it as a movie. Remember when families actually watched their home movies? Dad would pop in the vacation tape and everyone would crowd around the TV, laughing at moments they'd already forgotten. That doesn't happen anymore. We record thousands of clips that sit in our camera rolls forever, never watched again. VHS Studio brings that back. Record small moments throughout your day - 3 seconds of your kid laughing, 5 seconds of the sunset on your trip, a quick clip of blowing out birthday candles. They all go onto a tape. When the tape is full, export it as one movie and actually watch it. That's it. Make a tape for everything. "Vacation '26." "Baby's First Year." "Jake's 25th Birthday." "Summer at the Lake." Each tape becomes a movie you'll actually rewatch - not another 47 clips lost in your camera roll. VHS Studio turns your iPhone into a retro camcorder. Record clips to tapes, and when you're ready, export the whole tape as a single movie with one tap. No editing skills needed. RECORD ON TAPE Every clip you shoot gets added to a tape. Think of tapes like chapters of your life - a birthday party, a weekend trip, a whole year of your kid growing up. Start a new tape whenever you want. Keep as many as you like. 9 RETRO FILTERS Choose from 9 authentic retro looks. Each one captures a different era - from faded 80s home video to grainy 90s camcorder. Add a VHS timestamp for the full effect. BURST MODE Not everything needs to be a long video. Set burst mode to 1, 3, or 5 seconds and capture quick moments throughout your day. Or just hold record and film as long as you want. EXPORT YOUR WAY Happy with your tape? One tap exports it as a finished movie, ready to share. Want more control? Trim clips, re-order them, and cut what you don't need - all inside the app. BUILT FOR MEMORIES - Infinite tapes - never run out of space for new chapters - One-finger zoom and tap to flip cameras - Import existing videos and give them the VHS treatment - Everything stays on your device. No accounts, no data collection. Whether you're documenting your kid's first steps, logging a video diary of your trip, or just making everyday moments feel like a home movie - VHS Studio makes it effortless.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Cutlet at none against VHS Studio's 3. Cutlet also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). VHS Studio's advantage is ratings volume (11 vs 2). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
