# Collage Maker vs Photo Frames Editor

The clearest difference is ads: Photo Frames Editor at none against Collage Maker's shown. Photo Frames Editor also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (30K vs 4.5K). Collage Maker's advantage is chart position (#126 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Collage Maker sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Photo Frames Editor sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Frames Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Frames Editor has 30K ratings behind it against 4.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 85% of Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 95% of Photo Frames Editor's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
