Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Ink Touch at 5.0 against Springshot!'s 2.9. Springshot!'s advantage is review sentiment (21% vs 0%) and ratings volume (33 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Ink Touch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Springshot! has 33 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Ink Touch's written reviews are positive against 21% of Springshot!'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Ink Touch ships an update monthly, Springshot! every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
