# Wallpapers Maker + vs Mico

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.

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.

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.

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