The clearest difference is update cadence: Video at every 3 months against Video Shrinker's every 19 months. Video Shrinker's advantage is ratings volume (257 vs 6) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Video Shrinker costs $2.99 and Video $3.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Video Shrinker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Shrinker has 257 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Video Shrinker's written reviews are positive against 80% of Video's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Video Shrinker ships an update every 19 months, Video every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
