# Collections Application vs Jetpack for WordPress

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Collections Application at 100% against Jetpack for WordPress's 49%. Collections Application also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Jetpack for WordPress's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0) and in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, update cadence, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Collections Application sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $3.99 per year. Jetpack for WordPress asks for nothing beyond the download.

Jetpack for WordPress holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Jetpack for WordPress has 6.5K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Collections Application's written reviews are positive against 49% of Jetpack for WordPress'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 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
