Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Anime Power FX at 4.6 against Pic FX Editor's 3.7. Anime Power FX also leads on ratings volume (3.5K vs 9). Pic FX Editor's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 12 months) and review sentiment (92% vs 70%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anime Power FX holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anime Power FX has 3.5K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 92% of Pic FX Editor's written reviews are positive against 70% of Anime Power FX's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pic FX Editor ships an update every 2 months, Anime Power FX every 12 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
