Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: LensKit at 4.9 against Camera Files's 3.0. LensKit also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). Camera Files's advantage is review sentiment (83% vs 70%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Camera Files sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and LensKit sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
LensKit holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LensKit has 54 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 83% of Camera Files's written reviews are positive against 70% of LensKit's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
