Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: GitHub at weekly against Snippets!'s every 4 months. GitHub also leads on ratings volume (37K vs 3) and chart position (#2 vs unranked). Snippets!'s advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GitHub sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Snippets! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Snippets! holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GitHub has 37K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
GitHub ships an update weekly, Snippets! every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and July 30, 2026 respectively.
