Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Piwigo at 4.6 against Times Cloud's 3.0. Piwigo also leads on ratings volume (182 vs 2). Times Cloud's advantage is review sentiment (94% vs 69%) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Piwigo holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Piwigo has 182 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 69% of Piwigo's written reviews are positive against 94% of Times Cloud's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Piwigo ships an update every 3 weeks, Times Cloud every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 12, 2026 respectively.
