Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hyper Image Search at 5.0 against picTrove's 3.1. Hyper Image Search also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). picTrove's advantage is ratings volume (74 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.6). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. picTrove sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Hyper Image Search asks for nothing beyond the download.
Hyper Image Search holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: picTrove has 74 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of picTrove's written reviews are positive against 50% of Hyper Image Search'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, Hyper Image Search every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 3, 2026 and September 14, 2026 respectively.
