# Collage Maker ▫ vs Collage Maker MixCollage

The clearest difference is ads: Collage Maker ▫ at none against Collage Maker MixCollage's shown. Collage Maker ▫ also leads on ratings volume (5.2K vs 259). Collage Maker MixCollage's advantage is review sentiment (76% vs 64%). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Collage Maker ▫ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Collage Maker MixCollage sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Collage Maker ▫ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker ▫ has 5.2K ratings behind it against 259, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 64% of Collage Maker ▫'s written reviews are positive against 76% of Collage Maker MixCollage'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 September 28, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
