# Video Reverse vs InShot

The clearest difference is rating: InShot at 4.8 against Video Reverse's 3.0. InShot also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (2.5M vs 121). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Reverse sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 121, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of Video Reverse's written reviews are positive against 86% of InShot's.

Video Reverse ships an update every 4 months, InShot fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
