# Themify vs Wallpapers Maker +

The clearest difference is monetization model: Wallpapers Maker + at free with in-app purchases against Themify's subscription. Wallpapers Maker + also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 45%). Themify's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (345K vs 140). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Themify sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Wallpapers Maker + sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Themify against 4.5 for Wallpapers Maker +. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Themify has 345K ratings behind it against 140, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 45% of Themify's written reviews are positive against 71% of Wallpapers Maker +'s.

Themify ships an update fortnightly, Wallpapers Maker + every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
