Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Squarely at 4.7 against Video Toolbox's 3.6. Squarely also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). Video Toolbox's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (249 vs 6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Squarely holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Toolbox has 249 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of Video Toolbox's written reviews are positive against 28% of Squarely's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Video Toolbox ships an update every 3 months, Squarely monthly. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
