Stitch screenshots and photos into one long image—or join them side by side. Create long screenshots from conversations, receipts, instructions, and social posts. Align overlaps, crop precisely, and hide private details before sharing. COMBINE SCREENSHOTS AND PHOTOS Import images from your Photo Library and arrange them in the order you want. Stitch vertically to keep a conversation together, or horizontally for a side-by-side comparison. CROP PRECISELY Choose where each image begins and ends. Align overlapping content and remove repeated sections to make the result easier to read. HIDE PRIVATE DETAILS Cover names, addresses, and other sensitive information with solid-color freehand or straight-line redaction before you share. Image editing is processed on your device. SAVE AND SHARE Export the finished image as PNG or JPG, or save it as a PDF. Share through compatible messaging, email, and other apps. Siri Shortcuts and the share extension offer more ways to start. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import screenshots or photos. 2. Arrange them vertically or horizontally. 3. Align overlaps and crop each image. 4.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Stitch It at Free against SMS Export's $4.99. Stitch It also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 44 months). SMS Export's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and ads (none vs shown).
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Stitch It is free to download; SMS Export costs $4.99 up front. Stitch It sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. SMS Export asks for nothing beyond the download.
Stitch It holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Stitch It has 2.7K ratings behind it against 157, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of SMS Export's written reviews are positive against 61% of Stitch It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SMS Export ships an update every 44 months, Stitch It every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
