ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Screenshot holds the better App Store score, 2.7 against 1.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Screenshot has 114 ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Screenshot's written reviews are positive against 69% of ChatShots screenshot messages's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Screenshot ships an update every 12 months, ChatShots screenshot messages every 2 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
