Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Video Effect at 4.6 against The Frame Camera's 3.9. Video Effect also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (weekly vs every 4 months). The Frame Camera's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 79%). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. The Frame Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Video Effect asks for nothing beyond the download.
Video Effect holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Effect has 86 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of The Frame Camera's written reviews are positive against 79% of Video Effect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
The Frame Camera ships an update every 4 months, Video Effect weekly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
