# Picture Cross vs 13!

The clearest difference is ads: 13! at none against Picture Cross's shown. 13! also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). Picture Cross's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and chart position (#138 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Picture Cross sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and 13! sells 4 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 8.4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 45% of Picture Cross's written reviews are positive against 34% of 13!'s.

Picture Cross ships an update every 2 months, 13! every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
