Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Dildy at 4.4 against PicNow!'s 3.0. Dildy also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly) and ratings volume (7 vs 1). PicNow!'s advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 50%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. PicNow! sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Dildy sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Dildy holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dildy has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of PicNow!'s written reviews are positive against 50% of Dildy's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
PicNow! ships an update monthly, Dildy every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on August 1, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
