# Annotable vs Screenshot Editor

The clearest difference is ads: Annotable at none against Screenshot Editor's shown. Annotable also leads on ratings volume (894 vs 126) and device support (3 vs 1). Screenshot Editor's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Annotable sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Screenshot Editor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Annotable against 4.6 for Screenshot Editor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Annotable has 894 ratings behind it against 126, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 75% and 75% positive.

Annotable ships an update every 2 months, Screenshot Editor weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
