# #Snip! vs FastClip

The clearest difference is review sentiment: FastClip at 76% against #Snip!'s 0%. FastClip also leads on ratings volume (179 vs 2) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). #Snip!'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and rating (4.5 vs 4.3). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FastClip sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. #Snip! asks for nothing beyond the download.

#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.

#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.
