# PIP Magic vs Ultimate Selfies Maker

The clearest difference is rating: Ultimate Selfies Maker at 4.9 against PIP Magic's 4.5. PIP Magic's advantage is ratings volume (1.8K vs 8) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 5 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
