# White Border vs White Background Frame

The clearest difference is ads: White Background Frame at none against White Border's shown. White Background Frame also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (699 vs 5). White Border's advantage is review sentiment (54% vs 30%) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. White Border sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and White Background Frame sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

White Background Frame holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: White Background Frame has 699 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 54% of White Border's written reviews are positive against 30% of White Background Frame's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

White Border ships an update every 2 weeks, White Background Frame every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively.
