# iNalyse vs Video Pencil

The clearest difference is rating: Video Pencil at 4.2 against iNalyse's 3.3. Video Pencil also leads on review sentiment (57% vs 30%) and ratings volume (106 vs 19). iNalyse's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iNalyse sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per 7 days and Video Pencil sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Video Pencil holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Pencil has 106 ratings behind it against 19, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of iNalyse's written reviews are positive against 57% of Video Pencil's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
