Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Snapper at none against Gaspy's 1. Snapper also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (200 vs 6). Gaspy's advantage is review sentiment (65% vs 34%). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Gaspy sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. Snapper asks for nothing beyond the download.
Snapper holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snapper has 200 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 65% of Gaspy's written reviews are positive against 34% of Snapper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
