# Image Size vs PicScratch

The clearest difference is ads: PicScratch at none against Image Size's shown. PicScratch also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). Image Size's advantage is ratings volume (30K vs 58). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Image Size sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and PicScratch sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. 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 PicScratch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Image Size has 30K ratings behind it against 58, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 71% of Image Size's written reviews are positive against 75% of PicScratch's.

Image Size ships an update fortnightly, PicScratch every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
