# Collage Maker vs Mixoo

Collage Maker and Mixoo both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Mixoo's written reviews are positive against 62% of Collage Maker's. Mixoo also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Collage Maker's advantage is ratings volume (177K vs 7K) and chart position (#91 vs unranked). On price, rating, update cadence 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 Mixoo sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 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 Mixoo. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker has 177K ratings behind it against 7K, 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 87% of Mixoo's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
