# AVDEO vs Photo Retouch

The clearest difference is rating: Photo Retouch at 3.9 against AVDEO's 1.6. Photo Retouch also leads on ratings volume (2.8K vs 8). AVDEO's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 9) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Retouch sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days. AVDEO asks for nothing beyond the download.

Photo Retouch holds the better App Store score, 3.9 against 1.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Retouch has 2.8K ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 16% of AVDEO's written reviews are positive against 11% of Photo Retouch's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

AVDEO ships an update monthly, Photo Retouch every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
