# Finder vs Image Search

The clearest difference is rating: Image Search at 4.8 against Finder's 4.2. Image Search also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months). Finder's advantage is review sentiment (20% vs 0%) and ratings volume (235 vs 35). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Finder sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and Image Search sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $18.49 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Image Search holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Finder has 235 ratings behind it against 35, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 20% of Finder's written reviews are positive against 0% of Image Search's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Finder ships an update every 15 months, Image Search every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
