# InShot vs Vimeo Create

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 (#30 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.

Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Vimeo Create sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for InShot against 4.8 for Vimeo Create. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 49K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 47% of Vimeo Create's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
