# PicFrame vs PicFrame

PicFrame's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PicFrame sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and PicFrame sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PicFrame has 17K ratings behind it against 1.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two.
