From 2 to 20, across more than 280 layouts. Smart Layout arranges them for you if you would rather not pick. Does the background removal need internet? No. The cut-out runs on the device with the chip your phone already has, so it works in airplane mode. Can I build a swipeable multi-slide post? Yes. The carousel maker cuts one design into slides at the right size, and exports them in order so you can upload them as a set. What is free and what does Pro add? Free covers every one of the 280+ layouts, the full editor, carousels and HD export without a watermark. Pro adds background removal, Smart Layout, 4K, poster and transparent PNG export, and removes the ads.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Evolva Photo at none against Collage Maker's shown. Collage Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
