# InShot vs Reverse Backwards Video Maker

The clearest difference is ads: Reverse Backwards Video Maker at none against InShot's shown. Reverse Backwards Video Maker also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). InShot's advantage is ratings volume (2.5M vs 20) and chart position (#37 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model 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 and Reverse Backwards Video Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reverse Backwards Video Maker holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two.

InShot ships an update every 2 weeks, Reverse Backwards Video Maker monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
