Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: InShot at free with in-app purchases against Video Editor ‧'s subscription. InShot also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (2.5M vs 33K). Video Editor ‧'s advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Video Editor ‧ sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 33K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 65% of Video Editor ‧'s.
InShot ships an update every 2 weeks, Video Editor ‧ every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 31, 2026.
