Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Wallpaper and Background Textures at none against Customized Wallpapers's 1. Wallpaper and Background Textures also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Customized Wallpapers's advantage is review sentiment (91% vs 61%) and ratings volume (223 vs 4). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Wallpaper and Background Textures holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Customized Wallpapers has 223 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 61% of Wallpaper and Background Textures's written reviews are positive against 91% of Customized Wallpapers's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Wallpaper and Background Textures ships an update every 3 months, Customized Wallpapers every 7 months. Both last shipped on October 22, 2026.
