# Picture Collage Maker vs Photo Blend

Picture Collage Maker and Photo Blend both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 46% of Picture Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 22% of Photo Blend's. Picture Collage Maker also leads on ratings volume (20K vs 3.5K). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Picture Collage Maker sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Photo Blend sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Blend holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picture Collage Maker has 20K ratings behind it against 3.5K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Picture Collage Maker's written reviews are positive against 22% of Photo Blend's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Picture Collage Maker ships an update every 2 weeks, Photo Blend monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
