Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: pIcD App at free against Called's free with in-app purchases. pIcD App also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 75%). Called's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (370 vs 22). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Called holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Called has 370 ratings behind it against 22, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Called's written reviews are positive against 91% of pIcD App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Called ships an update every 6 days, pIcD App monthly. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
