# Collage Maker vs Pic Collage Maker

The clearest difference is update cadence: Collage Maker at fortnightly against Pic Collage Maker's every 3 months. Collage Maker also leads on ratings volume (178K vs 134) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Pic Collage Maker's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 62%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Collage Maker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pic Collage Maker sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Collage Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker has 178K ratings behind it against 134, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 62% of Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 75% of Pic Collage Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Collage Maker ships an update fortnightly, Pic Collage Maker every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
