# InShot vs Video Editor

The clearest difference is rating: InShot at 4.8 against Video Editor's 3.5. InShot also leads on ratings volume (2.5M vs 12) and chart position (#27 vs unranked). Video Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Video Editor asks for nothing beyond the download.

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 12, 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 81% of Video Editor's.
