# Text On Video vs Animated Text

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Animated Text at none against Text On Video's 10. Animated Text also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months) and rating (4.2 vs 3.9). Text On Video's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.2K vs 14). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Text On Video sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Animated Text asks for nothing beyond the download.

Animated Text holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Text On Video has 2.2K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Text On Video ships an update every 2 months, Animated Text every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
