# Fraksl vs Screenshot Editor

The clearest difference is update cadence: Screenshot Editor at every 4 days against Fraksl's every 12 months. Screenshot Editor also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Fraksl's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 64%) and ratings volume (614 vs 91). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fraksl sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Screenshot Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Fraksl against 4.7 for Screenshot Editor. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fraksl has 614 ratings behind it against 91, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Fraksl's written reviews are positive against 64% of Screenshot Editor's.

Fraksl ships an update every 12 months, Screenshot Editor every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 17, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
