# SNAPS vs InShot

The clearest difference is rating: InShot at 4.8 against SNAPS's 4.0. InShot also leads on ratings volume (2.5M vs 82) and review sentiment (86% vs 71%). SNAPS's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 11) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. SNAPS asks for nothing beyond the download.

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 82, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of SNAPS's written reviews are positive against 86% of InShot's.

SNAPS ships an update fortnightly, InShot every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
