# Photo Editor * Collage Maker vs Magic AI

The clearest difference is rating: Magic AI at 5.0 against Photo Editor * Collage Maker's 2.9. Magic AI also leads on ads (none vs shown). Photo Editor * Collage Maker's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Editor * Collage Maker sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $14.99 per 7 days and Magic AI sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Magic AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Editor * Collage Maker has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Photo Editor * Collage Maker ships an update every 2 weeks, Magic AI fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
