# Annotable vs ScrollingScreenshot

The clearest difference is rating: Annotable at 4.6 against ScrollingScreenshot's 3.2. Annotable also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 35%) and ratings volume (894 vs 85). ScrollingScreenshot's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Annotable sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and ScrollingScreenshot sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Annotable holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Annotable has 894 ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 75% of Annotable's written reviews are positive against 35% of ScrollingScreenshot's.

Annotable ships an update every 2 months, ScrollingScreenshot every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
