# MetaX vs Exif Master

The clearest difference is rating: Exif Master at 4.6 against MetaX's 4.1. Exif Master also leads on ratings volume (70 vs 12) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 17.6). MetaX's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MetaX sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and Exif Master sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Exif Master holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Exif Master has 70 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of MetaX's written reviews are positive against 75% of Exif Master's.

MetaX ships an update monthly, Exif Master every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
