Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Eclipse at 93% against Portrait Sonore's 67%. My Eclipse also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (17 vs 2). Portrait Sonore's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Portrait Sonore holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: My Eclipse has 17 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Portrait Sonore's written reviews are positive against 93% of My Eclipse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Portrait Sonore ships an update every 3 months, My Eclipse every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 5, 2026 and October 10, 2026 respectively.
