# Photo Editor vs Fontim

The clearest difference is rating: Photo Editor at 4.6 against Fontim's 3.4. Photo Editor also leads on review sentiment (67% vs 40%) and ratings volume (300K vs 17). Fontim's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Editor sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Fontim sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Editor has 300K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Photo Editor's written reviews are positive against 40% of Fontim's.

Photo Editor ships an update every 3 weeks, Fontim every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
