# RePlay vs InShot

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InShot at 86% against RePlay's 15%. InShot also leads on rating (4.8 vs 3.3) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). RePlay's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. RePlay sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and InShot sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 15% of RePlay's written reviews are positive against 86% of InShot's.

RePlay ships an update every 4 months, InShot fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
