Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: The Wallpapers at none against Anime Wallpaper's 8. The Wallpapers also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). Anime Wallpaper's advantage is ratings volume (84K vs 810) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Anime Wallpaper holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Anime Wallpaper has 84K ratings behind it against 810, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of Anime Wallpaper's written reviews are positive against 75% of The Wallpapers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Anime Wallpaper ships an update every 4 weeks, The Wallpapers every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
