# Reverse Video vs Rewind

The clearest difference is monetization model: Rewind at free against Reverse Video's free with in-app purchases. Rewind also leads on ratings volume (29 vs 4). Reverse Video's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reverse Video sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Rewind sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
