# Meipai vs Video Editor ‧

The clearest difference is monetization model: Meipai at free with in-app purchases against Video Editor ‧'s subscription. Meipai also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Video Editor ‧'s advantage is ratings volume (33K vs 567) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Meipai sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Video Editor ‧ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Meipai against 4.4 for Video Editor ‧. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Editor ‧ has 33K ratings behind it against 567, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 72% of Meipai's written reviews are positive against 65% of Video Editor ‧'s.

Meipai ships an update every 2 months, Video Editor ‧ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
