Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: InShot at 86% against Switcher's 49%. InShot also leads on ratings volume (2.5M vs 2.4K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Switcher's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Switcher sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $64.99 per month and InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 2.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 49% of Switcher's written reviews are positive against 86% of InShot's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
