# Carousel Camera vs DoubleTake

The clearest difference is rating: DoubleTake at 3.4 against Carousel Camera's 2.7. DoubleTake also leads on ratings volume (505 vs 3). Carousel Camera's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 14.1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Carousel Camera sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and DoubleTake sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DoubleTake holds the better App Store score, 3.4 against 2.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: DoubleTake has 505 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Carousel Camera's written reviews are positive against 43% of DoubleTake's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Carousel Camera ships an update every 10 days, DoubleTake every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 25, 2026 respectively.
