# Collage Maker vs Flipper

The clearest difference is update cadence: Collage Maker at every 3 weeks against Flipper's every 2 months. Collage Maker also leads on ratings volume (177K vs 8.2K) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, 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 Flipper sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Collage Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Collage Maker has 177K ratings behind it against 8.2K, 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 52% of Flipper's.

Collage Maker ships an update every 3 weeks, Flipper every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
