Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Video Editor at 4.5 against Video Maker's 4.0. Video Editor also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). Video Maker's advantage is review sentiment (64% vs 38%) and ratings volume (10K vs 140). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Video Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Video Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Video Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Maker has 10K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Video Maker's written reviews are positive against 38% of Video Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Video Maker ships an update every 2 months, Video Editor weekly. Both last shipped on September 29, 2026.
