# Double Exposure vs Photo Blend

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Double Exposure at 66% against Photo Blend's 22%. Double Exposure also leads on ads (none vs shown). Photo Blend's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (3.5K vs 29). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Double Exposure sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Photo Blend sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Photo Blend holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Blend has 3.5K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Double Exposure's written reviews are positive against 22% of Photo Blend's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Double Exposure ships an update every 3 months, Photo Blend monthly. Both last shipped on November 6, 2026.
