# 隐私相册 vs PBAlbum

The clearest difference is rating: PBAlbum at 5.0 against 隐私相册's 3.7. 隐私相册's advantage is update cadence (every 8 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 隐私相册 sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and PBAlbum sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PBAlbum holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 隐私相册 has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

隐私相册 ships an update every 8 days, PBAlbum monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and October 13, 2026 respectively.
