# Image Info vs Metapho

The clearest difference is rating: Metapho at 4.6 against Image Info's 2.5. Metapho also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 4) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 6 months). Image Info's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Metapho sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Image Info asks for nothing beyond the download.
