# TextArt vs Image Utils

The clearest difference is rating: TextArt at 4.6 against Image Utils's 4.2. TextArt also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 10). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TextArt sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Image Utils sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

TextArt holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: TextArt has 1.1K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of TextArt's written reviews are positive against 50% of Image Utils's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
