Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Fixum 2 at none against Picture Cross's shown. Fixum 2 also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (60% vs 45%). Picture Cross's advantage is ratings volume (75K vs 185) and rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Picture Cross sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Fixum 2 sells 10 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Picture Cross holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Picture Cross has 75K ratings behind it against 185, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Picture Cross's written reviews are positive against 60% of Fixum 2's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Picture Cross ships an update every 2 months, Fixum 2 weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
