# Reverse vs Reverse Image Search +

The clearest difference is rating: Reverse Image Search + at 4.4 against Reverse's 3.8. Reverse's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 15 months) and review sentiment (33% vs 19%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Reverse sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Reverse Image Search + sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Reverse Image Search + holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Reverse has 5.1K ratings behind it against 549, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of Reverse's written reviews are positive against 19% of Reverse Image Search +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Reverse ships an update every 2 months, Reverse Image Search + every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
