Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Censor This at every 4 months against Photo Masks's every 42 months. Censor This also leads on rating (2.8 vs 2.5). Photo Masks's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 23%) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Censor This sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Photo Masks sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Censor This holds the better App Store score, 2.8 against 2.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 5 and 2 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 23% of Censor This's written reviews are positive against 33% of Photo Masks's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Censor This ships an update every 4 months, Photo Masks every 42 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
