ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

#Snip! holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FastClip has 179 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of #Snip!'s written reviews are positive against 76% of FastClip's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

#Snip! ships an update every 3 months, FastClip every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
