# Split Pic Collage Maker Layout vs Blend Photos

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Split Pic Collage Maker Layout at 87% against Blend Photos's 41%. Split Pic Collage Maker Layout also leads on ratings volume (16K vs 460) and chart position (#38 vs unranked). Blend Photos's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Split Pic Collage Maker Layout sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Blend Photos sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Blend Photos holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Split Pic Collage Maker Layout has 16K ratings behind it against 460, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Split Pic Collage Maker Layout's written reviews are positive against 41% of Blend Photos's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Split Pic Collage Maker Layout ships an update every 2 months, Blend Photos every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
