Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: iMediaOut at 4.5 against USB Sharp's 3.1. iMediaOut also leads on ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (76% vs 53%). USB Sharp's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. USB Sharp sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and iMediaOut sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
iMediaOut holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iMediaOut has 272 ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 53% of USB Sharp's written reviews are positive against 76% of iMediaOut's.
USB Sharp ships an update every 3 weeks, iMediaOut every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
