# Squarely vs Video Toolbox

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Video Toolbox at 70% against Squarely's 28%. Video Toolbox also leads on ratings volume (61 vs 6). Squarely's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Video Toolbox sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Squarely asks for nothing beyond the download.

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.

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