Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Pro Camera at 4.4 against BlackSight's 3.8. Pro Camera also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 44) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). BlackSight's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (73% vs 58%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pro Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per year and BlackSight sells 3 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

Pro Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Camera has 4K ratings behind it against 44, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Pro Camera's written reviews are positive against 73% of BlackSight's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Pro Camera ships an update every 2 weeks, BlackSight every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 26, 2026 respectively.
