# Folder Video+ vs Video Player

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Folder Video+ at none against Video Player's 1. Folder Video+ also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Video Player's advantage is ratings volume (35 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Player sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Folder Video+ asks for nothing beyond the download.

Folder Video+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Player has 35 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 42% of Folder Video+'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Video Player's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Folder Video+ ships an update fortnightly, Video Player every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 16, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
