Verdict

The call

InShot and Vimeo Create both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 47% of Vimeo Create's. InShot also leads on ratings volume (2.5M vs 49K) and chart position (#33 vs unranked). Vimeo Create's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
