# Image Editor vs Ephora

The clearest difference is rating: Ephora at 5.0 against Image Editor's 4.5. Ephora also leads on ads (none vs shown). Image Editor's advantage is ratings volume (49 vs 1) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Image Editor sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Ephora sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
