# Image Compare. vs Before/After

The clearest difference is rating: Before/After at 4.6 against Image Compare.'s 4.1. Before/After also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (210 vs 40). Image Compare.'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and review sentiment (91% vs 64%). On price and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Before/After sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Image Compare. asks for nothing beyond the download.

Before/After holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Before/After has 210 ratings behind it against 40, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Image Compare.'s written reviews are positive against 64% of Before/After's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Image Compare. ships an update every 2 weeks, Before/After every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
