Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ShotText at 73% against AIBoxcam's 33%. ShotText also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). AIBoxcam's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ShotText sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and AIBoxcam sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
ShotText holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7.

ShotText ships an update every 2 weeks, AIBoxcam every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 6, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
