# Flickr vs Deviant Art

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Flickr at 70% against Deviant Art's 20%. Flickr also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (15K vs 34). Deviant Art's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Flickr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $11.00 per month and Deviant Art sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Flickr holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flickr has 15K ratings behind it against 34, 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 20% of Deviant Art's.

Flickr ships an update fortnightly, Deviant Art every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
