Reel Maker Pro review
A low-cost iPhone template app with broad creative assets and animated exports.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Reel Maker Pro is an iPhone and iPad design app for creating social media stories, posts, profile covers and meme layouts. It suits individuals and small teams looking for low-cost template creation on iOS, especially when access to fonts, stickers, stock images and animated exports matters. Most tools and content are available through the free plan without registration, while the optional PRO subscription expands the available library.
The published plans show two paid options. Pro Monthly costs $2.99 per month, and Pro Annual costs $17.99 per year. Both remove ads, unlock all templates and content, and include a 7-day free trial. The free plan provides access to most tools and content, while PRO adds additional templates, creative assets, the full cut-out tool and complete content libraries. This makes the product easy to evaluate before committing, with a low-cost monthly option for occasional creators and an annual option for longer-term use.
Its main strength is the breadth of built-in creative material for a focused social design workflow: 367 fonts, 4,530 stickers, 78 filters, 304 borders, meme layouts, cut-out tools and 1.8 million royalty-free stock images. Animated text export supports MP4 and GIF formats. The trade-off is a narrow platform and ecosystem fit: iOS is the listed platform, and no integrations are listed. Choose Reel Maker Pro for direct template-based creation on an iPhone or iPad; choose an alternative if you need broader platform coverage or connected workflows.
