# Remote Shutter vs SelfieTime

The clearest difference is rating: Remote Shutter at 3.6 against SelfieTime's 2.1. Remote Shutter also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (71 vs 10). SelfieTime's advantage is review sentiment (52% vs 37%) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Remote Shutter sells 6 one-off in-app purchases and SelfieTime sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Remote Shutter holds the better App Store score, 3.6 against 2.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Remote Shutter has 71 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of Remote Shutter's written reviews are positive against 52% of SelfieTime's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Remote Shutter ships an update every 6 days, SelfieTime every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
