# Monitor+ vs Piufoto

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Piufoto at 89% against Monitor+'s 45%. Piufoto also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.2) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). Monitor+'s advantage is ratings volume (279 vs 23) and device support (4 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Monitor+ sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Piufoto sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Piufoto holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Monitor+ has 279 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Monitor+'s written reviews are positive against 89% of Piufoto's.

Monitor+ ships an update monthly, Piufoto weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 28, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
