# REC vs DSLR Camera

The clearest difference is rating: DSLR Camera at 4.6 against REC's 3.8. DSLR Camera also leads on review sentiment (82% vs 55%) and update cadence (weekly vs monthly). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. REC sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and DSLR Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DSLR Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DSLR Camera has 695 ratings behind it against 70, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 55% of REC's written reviews are positive against 82% of DSLR Camera's.

REC ships an update monthly, DSLR Camera weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
