Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: InShot at 4.8 against TinyMix's 4.2. InShot also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (2.5M vs 27). TinyMix's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and TinyMix sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

InShot ships an update fortnightly, TinyMix every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 30, 2026 respectively.
