# Video Maker vs Transitions & Slideshow Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Transitions & Slideshow Maker at 4.6 against Video Maker's 4.0. Transitions & Slideshow Maker also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%). Video Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (10K vs 5). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Maker sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Transitions & Slideshow Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Transitions & Slideshow Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Maker has 10K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 64% of Video Maker's written reviews are positive against 100% of Transitions & Slideshow Maker's.
