ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Squarely holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Video Toolbox has 61 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Squarely's written reviews are positive against 70% of Video Toolbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Squarely ships an update monthly, Video Toolbox every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 18, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
