# Filterloop vs HD Photo Editor Pro

The clearest difference is monetization model: HD Photo Editor Pro at free with in-app purchases against Filterloop's subscription. HD Photo Editor Pro also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 75%). Filterloop's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 13 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 87). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Filterloop sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and HD Photo Editor Pro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.3 for Filterloop against 4.4 for HD Photo Editor Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Filterloop has 13K ratings behind it against 87, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 75% of Filterloop's written reviews are positive against 100% of HD Photo Editor Pro's.

Filterloop ships an update every 2 months, HD Photo Editor Pro every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
