Then & Nowvs Metamorph

Body Progress Pics: Metamorph, by Tiny Ideas, is a well-made progress photo app, and the closest thing to Then & Now. Both line up your photos, both keep them on your phone or in your iCloud, and both carry Apple's "Data Not Collected" label. Here's where they differ.

Metamorph's column comes from its App Store listing on October 12, 2026. "Not in its listing" means the listing doesn't mention it; the app may still have it. Prices are US and can change. We make Then & Now, so weigh this page with that in mind, and if something here is out of date, tell us.

Choose Metamorph if…

  • You'd like GIFs for social posts. Then & Now exports photos and videos, not GIFs.
  • You'd rather the app line photos up for you. Metamorph promises automatic alignment; with Then & Now you line up with Ghost mode as you shoot and fine-tune with Crop & Align.

Choose Then & Now if…

  • You want your numbers beside your photos: weight, measurements, ratings, notes, or values from Apple Health, all charted on Trends.
  • You want albums locked with Face ID, and a voice timer for hands-free shots.
  • You're tracking more than a body: a pet, a garden, a renovation.
  • You'd rather pay once: Lifetime is $99.99.
