The creative potential unleashed by Focos is endless.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Focos at none against Pro Camera's shown. Focos also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (51K vs 4.3K). Pro Camera's advantage is review sentiment (59% vs 50%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. Pro Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year and Focos sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Focos holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focos has 51K ratings behind it against 4.3K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Pro Camera's written reviews are positive against 50% of Focos's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
