# Pulse Camera Control vs Photo Expert

The clearest difference is rating: Photo Expert at 4.4 against Pulse Camera Control's 3.0. Photo Expert also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (120 vs 23). Pulse Camera Control's advantage is review sentiment (45% vs 5%) and in-app purchases (none vs 7). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Photo Expert sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $3.49 per 7 days. Pulse Camera Control asks for nothing beyond the download.

Photo Expert holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Photo Expert has 120 ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Pulse Camera Control's written reviews are positive against 5% of Photo Expert's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pulse Camera Control ships an update every 2 months, Photo Expert every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
