# AppearMe vs InkCapture

The clearest difference is rating: InkCapture at 5.0 against AppearMe's 3.9. InkCapture also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). AppearMe's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (26 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AppearMe sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.95 per month and InkCapture sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InkCapture holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AppearMe has 26 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AppearMe ships an update every 5 weeks, InkCapture every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
