# GitHub vs Aspect Cropper

The clearest difference is ads: GitHub at none against Aspect Cropper's shown. GitHub also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (37K vs 24). Aspect Cropper's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 63%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GitHub sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Aspect Cropper sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

GitHub holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GitHub has 37K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of GitHub's written reviews are positive against 83% of Aspect Cropper's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

GitHub ships an update weekly, Aspect Cropper every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
