# Snap vs Xscope

The clearest difference is rating: Snap at 4.6 against Xscope's 2.4. Snap also leads on ratings volume (697 vs 86). 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.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Snap holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snap has 697 ratings behind it against 86, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 30% of Snap's written reviews are positive against 32% of Xscope's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Snap ships an update every 2 months, Xscope every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 11, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
