# MetaX vs EXIF Metadata +

MetaX and EXIF Metadata + both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 70% of MetaX's written reviews are positive against 42% of EXIF Metadata +'s. EXIF Metadata +'s advantage is ratings volume (63 vs 12) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

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

EXIF Metadata + holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: EXIF Metadata + has 63 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 70% of MetaX's written reviews are positive against 42% of EXIF Metadata +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
