# Square Sized vs White Background Frame

The clearest difference is monetization model: White Background Frame at free with in-app purchases against Square Sized's subscription. White Background Frame also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.2). Square Sized's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 30%) and ratings volume (8.2K vs 697). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Square Sized sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and White Background Frame sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

White Background Frame holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Square Sized has 8.2K ratings behind it against 697, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 60% of Square Sized's written reviews are positive against 30% of White Background Frame's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
