Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: PhotoColors at every 5 days against PixFrame's every 3 weeks. PhotoColors also leads on ratings volume (99 vs 11). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PixFrame sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and PhotoColors sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PixFrame holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PhotoColors has 99 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of PixFrame's written reviews are positive against 97% of PhotoColors's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

PixFrame ships an update every 3 weeks, PhotoColors every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 9, 2026 respectively.
