# Shot Lister vs Light 3D

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Light 3D at none against Shot Lister's 11. Light 3D also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Shot Lister's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shot Lister sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $15.99 per month. Light 3D asks for nothing beyond the download.

Shot Lister holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shot Lister has 206 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Shot Lister's written reviews are positive against 80% of Light 3D's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Shot Lister ships an update every 2 weeks, Light 3D every 5 months. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
