# XbotGo vs Shutter Trail

The clearest difference is rating: Shutter Trail at 5.0 against XbotGo's 4.5. Shutter Trail also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). XbotGo's advantage is ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. XbotGo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $24.99 per month and Shutter Trail sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Shutter Trail holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: XbotGo has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

XbotGo ships an update fortnightly, Shutter Trail every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
