Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: picTrove at 67% against FlickrAlbums's 0%. picTrove also leads on update cadence (every 3 months vs every 30 months) and ratings volume (76 vs 3). FlickrAlbums's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. picTrove sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. FlickrAlbums asks for nothing beyond the download.
FlickrAlbums holds the better App Store score, 3.7 against 3.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: picTrove has 76 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of picTrove's written reviews are positive against 0% of FlickrAlbums's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
picTrove ships an update every 3 months, FlickrAlbums every 30 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 1, 2026 respectively.
