# GedView vs iFramez

The clearest difference is price: iFramez at Free against GedView's $4.99. iFramez also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.7). GedView's advantage is ratings volume (29 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.6). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

iFramez is free to download; GedView costs $4.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

iFramez holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: GedView has 29 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

GedView ships an update monthly, iFramez every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
