Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Snap at 4.6 against Xscope's 2.5. Snap also leads on ratings volume (697 vs 83). Xscope's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
