You should monitor the balance status of the above account. If the renewal fails due to account issues or insufficient balance, you will bear the risks and/or losses. To help you understand the auto-renewal situation, Apple will notify you of the upcoming deduction five days in advance via [in-site messages or emails], so please pay attention to receiving them. Please note that due to the nature of the auto-renewal service, if you do not explicitly cancel the auto-renewal service within the subscription period, Apple will issue a deduction instruction for the next subscription period based on your authorization. In principle, the fees deducted based on this instruction will not be refunded. 2.Subscription period: 1 month, 1 year, etc. (subject to the subscription page settings), which you can choose by yourself. 3.You acknowledge and agree that iCSee has the right to adjust the service price or stop providing the auto-renewal service. If iCSee adjusts the service price when you activate the auto-renewal service, you will be notified in advance in an appropriate manner (including but not limited to in-site announcements, SMS, etc.). If you do not agree to the service price adjustment, you can cancel the auto-renewal service according to these rules. If you do not cancel the auto-renewal service, the subsequent fees deducted by Apple will be based on the adjusted service fees. If you cancel within 24 hours before the subscription period expires, Apple may deduct the service fee for the next subscription period according to the adjusted service fees before stopping the deduction service. After the auto-renewal service is canceled, if you reactivate the auto-renewal service, the service fee automatically deducted by Apple will be based on the service fee displayed on the page at that time. 4.The method to unsubscribe from the auto-renewal service is as follows: Open the Apple iOS device "App Store" -> click on the Apple account avatar in the top right corner -> enter "Account" -> click "Subscriptions" -> select "iCSee", and cancel the subscription. 5.iCSee may also stop providing the auto-renewal service to you based on operational strategy needs. Your subscription service period will terminate upon the expiration of the current service period. 6.iCSee Service Agreement: https://pub-privacy.xmeye.net/app?pkg=com.xm.csee.ios&os=iOS&lan=en&type=protocol 7.iCSee Privacy Policy: https://privacy.xmeye.net/iCSee/20240122/en/privacy.html Privacy Policy: https://privacy.xmeye.net/iCSee/20240122/en/privacy.html Terms of Use: https://pub-privacy.xmeye.net/app?pkg=com.xm.csee.ios&os=iOS&lan=en&type=protocol

If your photo library has grown over the years or you want a cleaner device, Soapp helps you sort through it more efficiently.

In addition to media management, Soapp helps tidy your contacts by finding duplicate entries and merging them into a single contact card.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Soapp at none against iCSee's shown. iCSee's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 9) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, 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. iCSee sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Soapp sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.1 for iCSee against 4.1 for Soapp. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iCSee has 2.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.
iCSee ships an update every 2 weeks, Soapp every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
