# WhatStatHD vs Video Compressor

The clearest difference is rating: Video Compressor at 5.0 against WhatStatHD's 4.4. Video Compressor also leads on ads (none vs shown). WhatStatHD's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WhatStatHD sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Video Compressor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Compressor holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: WhatStatHD has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

WhatStatHD ships an update every 2 weeks, Video Compressor every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
