# Collage Maker vs Pic Collage Maker

The clearest difference is ads: Pic Collage Maker at none against Collage Maker's shown. Pic Collage Maker also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Collage Maker's advantage is ratings volume (179K vs 5) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, 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 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. 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 4.8 for Pic Collage Maker. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker has 179K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Collage Maker ships an update fortnightly, Pic Collage Maker every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 30, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
