# Collage Maker vs Pocol

The clearest difference is update cadence: Collage Maker at every 3 weeks against Pocol's every 4 months. Collage Maker also leads on ratings volume (177K vs 68) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Collage Maker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Pocol sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Collage Maker against 4.7 for Pocol. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker has 177K ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 62% of Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 67% of Pocol's.

Collage Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Pocol every 4 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and August 16, 2026 respectively.
