# StoryCloud. vs Echo Photos

The clearest difference is rating: Echo Photos at 5.0 against StoryCloud.'s 1.2. Echo Photos also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and device support (4 vs 2). StoryCloud.'s advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. StoryCloud. sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $12.99 per year and Echo Photos sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Echo Photos holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 1.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: StoryCloud. has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

StoryCloud. ships an update every 3 weeks, Echo Photos fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
