Verdict

The call

Screen Recorder and Screenshot Editor both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of Screenshot Editor's written reviews are positive against 33% of Screen Recorder's. Screenshot Editor also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). Screen Recorder's advantage is ratings volume (3.1K vs 126) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
