# Image Size vs Desqueeze

The clearest difference is ads: Desqueeze at none against Image Size's shown. Image Size's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 775). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Image Size sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and Desqueeze sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Image Size against 4.6 for Desqueeze. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Image Size has 30K ratings behind it against 775, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 71% and 71% positive.

Image Size ships an update fortnightly, Desqueeze every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
