Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Collage Maker at 62% against VideoLayout's 5%. Collage Maker also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (179K vs 4). VideoLayout's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Collage Maker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and VideoLayout sells 6 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Collage Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker has 179K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 62% of Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 5% of VideoLayout's.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
