# PhotoCircle vs Ditch

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Ditch at none against PhotoCircle's 2. Ditch also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs fortnightly). PhotoCircle's advantage is ratings volume (127K vs 1) and chart position (#10 vs unranked). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PhotoCircle sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.29 per month. Ditch asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for PhotoCircle against 5.0 for Ditch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotoCircle has 127K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

PhotoCircle ships an update fortnightly, Ditch daily. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
