# Creatic vs Adobe Express

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Adobe Express at 367K against Creatic's 3.4K. Adobe Express also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#11 vs #49). Creatic's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Creatic sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Adobe Express sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Adobe Express holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Adobe Express has 367K ratings behind it against 3.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 59% and 58% positive.

Creatic ships an update every 2 weeks, Adobe Express every 3 weeks. Both last shipped on September 24, 2026.
