# WallpaperSize vs Outside

The clearest difference is rating: Outside at 4.7 against WallpaperSize's 3.3. Outside also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 months). WallpaperSize's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 52%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. WallpaperSize sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Outside sells 17 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Outside holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Outside has 2.8K ratings behind it against 71, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of WallpaperSize's written reviews are positive against 52% of Outside's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

WallpaperSize ships an update every 2 months, Outside every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 23, 2026.
