Photo Editor vs Effects

Effects edges out Photo Editor on rating (5.0★ vs 4.7★), but the gap is small enough that pricing fit and feature differentiation should drive the decision more than the headline number.

On pricing, Photo Editor offers a free tier (Free plan available) while Effects starts at Paid. The free option meaningfully reduces evaluation cost, particularly at low usage volumes where the entry-paid tier can outpace the value delivered.

Photo Editor has the larger user base (160 reviews vs 4), which usually maps to broader integration coverage, faster bug-fix cadence, and a deeper bench of community workflow patterns. Effects's smaller cohort can be an advantage for niche workflows where the bigger app has accumulated bloat.

Recommended by size: small/early-stage site owners who need fast install and low risk should default to Effects; mid-market and enterprise site owners with specific feature requirements should evaluate both — Photo Editor's 160-review base may include the workflow context that matches your specific use case better than Effects's broader-but-shallower coverage.
