# 9Cut vs PicSplit

The clearest difference is rating: PicSplit at 4.8 against 9Cut's 3.3. PicSplit also leads on ratings volume (779 vs 31). 9Cut's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PicSplit sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 9Cut asks for nothing beyond the download.

PicSplit holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PicSplit has 779 ratings behind it against 31, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of 9Cut's written reviews are positive against 47% of PicSplit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

9Cut ships an update every 4 months, PicSplit every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
