# Superimpose+ vs PhotoScissors

The clearest difference is monetization model: Superimpose+ at free with in-app purchases against PhotoScissors's subscription. Superimpose+ also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 45%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 10 months). PhotoScissors's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Superimpose+ sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and PhotoScissors sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Superimpose+ holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Superimpose+ has 12K ratings behind it against 1.1K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 78% of Superimpose+'s written reviews are positive against 45% of PhotoScissors's.

Superimpose+ ships an update every 3 weeks, PhotoScissors every 10 months. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
