# ShemarooMe vs SnackShort

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SnackShort at 87% against ShemarooMe's 43%. SnackShort also leads on rating (4.8 vs 2.4) and ratings volume (16K vs 114). ShemarooMe's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShemarooMe sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and SnackShort sells 25 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

SnackShort holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SnackShort has 16K ratings behind it against 114, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 43% of ShemarooMe's written reviews are positive against 87% of SnackShort's.

ShemarooMe ships an update every 5 weeks, SnackShort fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
