# Collage Maker vs Panorama Split

The clearest difference is ads: Panorama Split at none against Collage Maker's shown. Panorama Split also leads on review sentiment (75% vs 62%). Collage Maker's advantage is ratings volume (177K vs 10) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Collage Maker sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Panorama Split sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. 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 177K ratings behind it against 10, 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 Panorama Split's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Collage Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Panorama Split fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 7, 2026 respectively.
