# 5GCtrl vs Photos+

The clearest difference is rating: Photos+ at 5.0 against 5GCtrl's 4.1. Photos+ also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 70%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). 5GCtrl's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (38 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 5GCtrl sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Photos+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photos+ holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 5GCtrl has 38 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 70% of 5GCtrl's written reviews are positive against 89% of Photos+'s.

5GCtrl ships an update every 5 days, Photos+ every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
