# Shuffle Photos vs Encore Frame

The clearest difference is ads: Encore Frame at none against Shuffle Photos's shown. Encore Frame also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Shuffle Photos's advantage is ratings volume (348 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Shuffle Photos sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Encore Frame sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
