Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: Snapchat at 5.9M against OVF Editor's 48K. Snapchat also leads on chart position (#2 vs unranked) and device support (4 vs 2). OVF Editor's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, review sentiment, 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. Snapchat sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and OVF Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
OVF Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Snapchat has 5.9M ratings behind it against 48K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 30% and 30% positive.
Snapchat ships an update every 6 days, OVF Editor every 8 days. Both last shipped on September 30, 2026.
