# PixFrame vs PhotoColors

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.

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.

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.
