Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Before and after collage at none against Collage Maker's 13. Before and after collage also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 63%). Collage Maker's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 42 months) and ratings volume (179K vs 60). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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 179K ratings behind it against 60, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 75% of Before and after collage's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Collage Maker ships an update fortnightly, Before and after collage every 42 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
