Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: instdown at 51% against Video Factory's 25%. instdown also leads on ratings volume (148K vs 5). Video Factory's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Factory holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: instdown has 148K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of instdown's written reviews are positive against 25% of Video Factory's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

instdown ships an update every 5 weeks, Video Factory every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
