# ShutterSnitch vs CloudTether

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ShutterSnitch at 60% against CloudTether's 0%. ShutterSnitch also leads on rating (2.9 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (65 vs 1). CloudTether's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShutterSnitch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and CloudTether sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ShutterSnitch holds the better App Store score, 2.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ShutterSnitch has 65 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of ShutterSnitch's written reviews are positive against 0% of CloudTether's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
