Verdict
InShot and 剪影 both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 55% of 剪影's. InShot also leads on ratings volume (2.5M vs 2.5K) and chart position (#31 vs unranked). 剪影's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads 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
Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and 剪影 sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Written reviews are what separate them: 86% of InShot's written reviews are positive against 55% of 剪影's.
InShot ships an update fortnightly, 剪影 every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
