# AB Quantum vs ShotView™

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ShotView™ at none against AB Quantum's 15. ShotView™ also leads on review sentiment (64% vs 45%). AB Quantum's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and chart position (#114 vs unranked). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AB Quantum sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. ShotView™ asks for nothing beyond the download.

AB Quantum holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AB Quantum has 2.7K ratings behind it against 302, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of AB Quantum's written reviews are positive against 64% of ShotView™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AB Quantum ships an update fortnightly, ShotView™ monthly. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
