# InShot vs Screenshot Editor

The clearest difference is ratings volume: InShot at 2.5M against Screenshot Editor's 124. InShot also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#22 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InShot sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Screenshot Editor sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

InShot holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: InShot has 2.5M ratings behind it against 124, 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 75% of Screenshot Editor's.

InShot ships an update every 2 weeks, Screenshot Editor weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
