# Pic Joke vs Love Cards +

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Love Cards + at 93% against Pic Joke's 40%. Love Cards + also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.7) and ratings volume (4.7K vs 9). Pic Joke's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 11 days vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pic Joke sells 9 one-off in-app purchases and Love Cards + sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Love Cards + holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Love Cards + has 4.7K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 40% of Pic Joke's written reviews are positive against 93% of Love Cards +'s.

Pic Joke ships an update every 11 days, Love Cards + every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 6, 2026 respectively.
