# InShot vs TinyMix

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.

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 27, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 83% of TinyMix's.

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