Verdict
ShowCuts and Xnapper both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Xnapper's written reviews are positive against 53% of ShowCuts's. ShowCuts's advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 21). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ShowCuts sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Xnapper sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ShowCuts holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.2. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 63 and 21 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of ShowCuts's written reviews are positive against 80% of Xnapper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ShowCuts ships an update every 2 months, Xnapper every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
