# Raster vs BigPic

The clearest difference is rating: BigPic at 5.0 against Raster's 3.8. BigPic also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 days vs every 3 months). Raster's advantage is ratings volume (46 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Raster sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and BigPic sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BigPic holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Raster has 46 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Raster ships an update every 3 months, BigPic every 6 days. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
