# Blur Image vs Screenshot Editor

The clearest difference is ads: Screenshot Editor at none against Blur Image's shown. Screenshot Editor also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 9 months) and rating (4.5 vs 4.2). Blur Image's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 2) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Blur Image sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Screenshot Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Screenshot Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blur Image has 18 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Blur Image ships an update every 9 months, Screenshot Editor every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
