# Flickr vs piXPost XP

The clearest difference is rating: piXPost XP at 5.0 against Flickr's 4.5. piXPost XP also leads on review sentiment (88% vs 70%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). Flickr's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15K vs 11). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flickr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.00 per month and piXPost XP sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

piXPost XP holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flickr has 15K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of Flickr's written reviews are positive against 88% of piXPost XP's.

Flickr ships an update every 2 weeks, piXPost XP fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
