# CloudEdge vs GetPhotoSphere

The clearest difference is review sentiment: CloudEdge at 63% against GetPhotoSphere's 0%. CloudEdge also leads on ratings volume (21K vs 24) and chart position (#77 vs unranked). GetPhotoSphere's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CloudEdge sells 19 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. GetPhotoSphere asks for nothing beyond the download.

GetPhotoSphere holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CloudEdge has 21K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of CloudEdge's written reviews are positive against 0% of GetPhotoSphere's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

CloudEdge ships an update every 2 weeks, GetPhotoSphere daily. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
