Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PicPlayPost at none against Gif Maker & Gif Editor's shown. PicPlayPost also leads on ratings volume (99K vs 104) and update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months). Gif Maker & Gif Editor's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 68%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PicPlayPost sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month and Gif Maker & Gif Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PicPlayPost holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PicPlayPost has 99K ratings behind it against 104, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of PicPlayPost's written reviews are positive against 82% of Gif Maker & Gif Editor's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PicPlayPost ships an update monthly, Gif Maker & Gif Editor every 2 months. Both last shipped on October 28, 2026.
