# Watermelon Backup vs Video Editor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Watermelon Backup at 97% against Video Editor's 70%. Video Editor's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.6). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Watermelon Backup sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Video Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 14 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 97% of Watermelon Backup's written reviews are positive against 70% of Video Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 days. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
