# Collage Maker vs SMPRO

Collage Maker and SMPRO both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 65% of SMPRO's. Collage Maker also leads on ratings volume (4.5K vs 386) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases 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 SMPRO sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Collage Maker against 4.5 for SMPRO. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker has 4.5K ratings behind it against 386, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 85% of Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 65% of SMPRO's.

Collage Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, SMPRO every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 31, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
