Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Photo Blends at 5.0 against Blend Maker's 3.7. Blend Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 14 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Photo Blends holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Blend Maker has 27 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Blend Maker's written reviews are positive against 80% of Photo Blends's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Blend Maker ships an update every 3 days, Photo Blends every 14 months. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
