Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PhotoLayers at none against Avatar Master's 4. PhotoLayers also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (20K vs 11). Avatar Master's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PhotoLayers holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotoLayers has 20K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of PhotoLayers's written reviews are positive against 100% of Avatar Master's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PhotoLayers ships an update every 3 months, Avatar Master monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and June 4, 2026 respectively.
