Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Video Compressor at none against Squeeze's 1. Video Compressor also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 83%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Squeeze's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
