# ShadowShare vs Apzz

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Apzz at 100% against ShadowShare's 60%. Apzz also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). ShadowShare's advantage is ratings volume (367 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShadowShare sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Apzz sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Apzz holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShadowShare has 367 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of ShadowShare's written reviews are positive against 100% of Apzz's.

ShadowShare ships an update every 2 months, Apzz weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 9, 2026 respectively.
