# QPhoto Backup vs ToolCat

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ToolCat at 100% against QPhoto Backup's 33%. ToolCat also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). QPhoto Backup's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.0). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QPhoto Backup sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and ToolCat sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QPhoto Backup holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3 and 4 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of QPhoto Backup's written reviews are positive against 100% of ToolCat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

QPhoto Backup ships an update every 2 weeks, ToolCat every 11 days. The most recent releases landed on October 23, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
