# Screenshot Editor vs xScan

The clearest difference is rating: xScan at 4.6 against Screenshot Editor's 2.6. xScan also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 23) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). Screenshot Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. xScan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Screenshot Editor asks for nothing beyond the download.

xScan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xScan has 31K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Screenshot Editor's written reviews are positive against 43% of xScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
