Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Selfie at none against Selfshot's shown. Selfshot's advantage is review sentiment (61% vs 29%) and ratings volume (106 vs 20). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Selfshot sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and Selfie sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Selfie holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Selfshot has 106 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Selfshot's written reviews are positive against 29% of Selfie's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Selfshot ships an update every 6 weeks, Selfie every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 11, 2026 respectively.
