# zEdit vs Video Editor

The clearest difference is monetization model: zEdit at free against Video Editor's freemium. zEdit also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 69%). On price, rating, ratings volume and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. zEdit sells 2 one-off in-app purchases 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 4.7. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 25 and 16 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of zEdit's written reviews are positive against 69% 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. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
