Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Picture Editor+ at free with in-app purchases against Filterloop's subscription. Picture Editor+ also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Filterloop's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 49%) and ratings volume (13K vs 2K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Filterloop sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Picture Editor+ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Picture Editor+ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filterloop has 13K ratings behind it against 2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Filterloop's written reviews are positive against 49% of Picture Editor+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Filterloop ships an update every 2 months, Picture Editor+ every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 9, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
