# ffmpeg vs Bloom

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bloom at 100% against ffmpeg's 50%. Bloom also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). ffmpeg's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bloom sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. ffmpeg asks for nothing beyond the download.
