# Photo Editor vs TextJam

The clearest difference is review sentiment: TextJam at 100% against Photo Editor's 50%. TextJam also leads on ads (none vs shown). Photo Editor's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 3.0) and update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Editor sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and TextJam sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Editor holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Editor has 44 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Photo Editor's written reviews are positive against 100% of TextJam's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Photo Editor ships an update every 4 days, TextJam fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 5, 2026.
