Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ShutterFest at 80% against Kavyar Photography Network's 42%. ShutterFest also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 12).

Both are free to download. Kavyar Photography Network sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $14.00 per month. ShutterFest asks for nothing beyond the download.
Kavyar Photography Network holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Kavyar Photography Network has 875 ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of ShutterFest's written reviews are positive against 42% of Kavyar Photography Network's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
ShutterFest ships an update every 5 months, Kavyar Photography Network every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
