Verdict
InShot and Boomerang Video Maker both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 23% of Boomerang Video Maker's. InShot also leads on ratings volume (2.5M vs 6.4K) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks). Boomerang Video Maker's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
