# PicFrame vs Photo Printing

The clearest difference is ads: PicFrame at none against Photo Printing's shown. PicFrame also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 45%) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PicFrame sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Photo Printing sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PicFrame holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PicFrame has 17K ratings behind it against 1.7K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 79% of PicFrame's written reviews are positive against 45% of Photo Printing's.

PicFrame ships an update every 9 days, Photo Printing every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
