Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Wallpapers Maker + at none against Mico's shown. Wallpapers Maker + also leads on review sentiment (71% vs 63%). Mico's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (102K vs 141). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Wallpapers Maker + sells 5 one-off in-app purchases and Mico sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Mico holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mico has 102K ratings behind it against 141, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Wallpapers Maker +'s written reviews are positive against 63% of Mico's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wallpapers Maker + ships an update every 4 months, Mico every 9 days. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
