Short answer: every editing tool in Photo Collage comes with the app, your first 3 exports are included, and there's no watermark and no ads. After that, Premium is a single purchase, not a subscription.
We make Photo Collage (on the App Store as Collage Maker: Photo & Video). This page lists what you get before Premium and what Premium adds in version 3.0 on iPhone and iPad, as of October 2026.

What Premium costs
Read from App Store Connect on October 18, 2026. The US price is the base: $4.99, one time. Prices vary by country, so the App Store shows the price for your region. It's a one-time purchase: no subscription, and nothing renews.
How it compares with other collage apps
Most collage apps cost nothing to download and make money in one of a few ways: a watermark on saved collages, ads, a subscription, or a one-time unlock. Some combine them. Before you put an afternoon into a birthday collage, it helps to know which one you're in.
Photo Collage uses the last one. There's no watermark on any export, no ads, and Premium is one purchase. The App Store page lists every in-app purchase, so you can check any app before you download it.
Which one fits you
- One collage for a birthday card or a post. The 3 included exports cover it, with the 9:16 story size and every frame.
- You make collages every week. The 3 included exports run out, and Premium is the one-time way past that.
- You want to print. Print sizes and custom sizes are Premium. The other sizes are made for screens and social posts.
- You turn pets or kids into stickers a lot. Three cut-outs per collage come with the app; more need Premium.
What it can't do
- Video exports go up to 1080p, in HEVC or a compatible H.264 option.
- The 3 included exports are 3 in total. Each save or share counts as one export.
- Android is different. Photo Collage is on Google Play too, but the Android app has the older feature set, so this list is for iPhone and iPad.
- Sticker cut-outs need iOS 17 or later on iPhone.
Quick answers

If you only need one collage this month, download it and see if the layout you want is there. You'll know before you pay anything.
