The report card
Best for template-based social video edits on a phone
Videoleap, from Lightricks, edits video in layers with templates and AI effects on iPhone, Android and the web. The App Store lists in-app prices from $4.99 to $69.99 without saying monthly or yearly, and there is no desktop app.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | In-app prices run from $4.99 to $69.99 with no billing period shown, so what a month costs isn't clear. |
| Free plan and trial | C | Free to download, and the site advertises a 7-day trial, which suggests the main tools sit behind a subscription. |
| Features | B | Layers, masks, blending, keyframes, motion tracking, templates, green screen and AI object removal and effects. Nothing in the listing is missing from the core editing job. |
| Ease of use | B | 4.6 on the App Store from about 146,000 ratings. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web editor plus iPhone, iPad and Android apps. No desktop app and no integrations listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Videoleap is for
- Fits if you make Reels or Shorts from templates on a phone
- Works for people who want a browser editor as well as an app
Who it is not for
- Tight if you want to stay free, because the main tools sit behind in-app purchases
- Skip it if you need a desktop app, as none was found
- Watch out: no billing period is shown for the $4.99 to $69.99 prices
- Watch out: prices are the US App Store's, and the Android price wasn't read
Good to know
Good for

- People who want templates to remake trending edits
- Quick edits that need AI object removal or background tools
Worth knowing

- No desktop app was found; the site lists the web editor plus iPhone and Android apps.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Videoleap you would be making a video editor. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 89 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools we grade.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A video editor.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Videoleap’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.

Where this guide comes from
The prices, plans, platforms and features were read from Videoleap’s own pages on Nov 13, 2026, and the grades were given on Nov 13, 2026. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Lightricks' own pages on 13 November 2026, and its App Store rating. The Videoleap site wouldn't load when we re-read it, so prices were checked on the App Store listing. Not based on using the product, and shorter than our full reviews.
Every tool we list gets five grades, A to F, each with its reason, and a GPA that averages them. How each is decided is at toolgpa.com/grades. This guide is ToolGPA’s own work; it is not made, paid for or approved by Lightricks. Prices change, so check videoleapapp.com before you buy.
