# FrameMagic vs Video Collage Maker & Editor

The clearest difference is rating: FrameMagic at 4.5 against Video Collage Maker & Editor's 3.9. FrameMagic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FrameMagic sells 18 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Video Collage Maker & Editor sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FrameMagic holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 890 and 538 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of FrameMagic's written reviews are positive against 66% of Video Collage Maker & Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

FrameMagic ships an update every 5 days, Video Collage Maker & Editor every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
