Cut any video frame with all its metadata. Frames can be saved back to the Photo Library, to Files, or Shared. All metadata available in the video is saved along the frame: location, camera information, and time of the video. When you add a frame back into photos, it will sit right next to the original video. The time of the frame is even adjusted to the video time plus the time of the frame itself. Open a video using the Share Extension. From Photos or Files, share a video and choose the FrameCutter extension to cut a frame right there. This is a free app, there are no paywall or subscriptions in any manner. If the app is useful, there is an In-App-Purchase to support the development.

FanFrame is a precision frame-by-frame video capture tool for creators, photographers, and anyone who wants to preserve the perfect moment from a video. Find the exact frame you need and save it to Photos at its original quality—without a complicated editing workflow. PRECISE FRAME CONTROL Navigate with a visual filmstrip timeline, jump five seconds at a time, or step forward and backward one frame at a time to catch expressions, movements, and moments that disappear in an instant. ORIGINAL-QUALITY CAPTURE Works with 4K, 2K, and 1080p videos. FanFrame extracts frames directly from the original video without recompressing them, preserving as much resolution and detail as possible. LIVE PHOTO EXPORT Turn a selected moment into a Live Photo with one tap, then save and share it from your Photos library. VIDEO LIBRARY Keep track of imported videos and continue from your last viewed position. Videos remain in your Photos library, so FanFrame does not create unnecessary duplicate copies. GREAT FOR • Concert and stage highlights • Sports, dance, and motion analysis • Film stills, visual assets, and memes • Family, pets, and travel memories FanFrame supports iPhone and iPad, with English and Simplified Chinese interfaces that follow your device language.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: FanFrame at every 10 days against FrameCutter's every 2 months. FanFrame also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 26.0). FrameCutter's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
