# PicCollage vs Flipper

The clearest difference is review sentiment: PicCollage at 91% against Flipper's 52%. PicCollage also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.8M vs 8.2K). Flipper's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PicCollage sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Flipper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

PicCollage holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PicCollage has 1.8M ratings behind it against 8.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of PicCollage's written reviews are positive against 52% of Flipper's.

PicCollage ships an update every 3 weeks, Flipper every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
