Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: BeFunky at none against Collage Maker MixCollage's shown. BeFunky also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (11K vs 259). Collage Maker MixCollage's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. BeFunky sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and Collage Maker MixCollage sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

BeFunky holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BeFunky has 11K ratings behind it against 259, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of BeFunky's written reviews are positive against 76% of Collage Maker MixCollage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

BeFunky ships an update every 2 months, Collage Maker MixCollage every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
