# BBBBurst vs Manual Camera

The clearest difference is rating: Manual Camera at 4.3 against BBBBurst's 2.8. Manual Camera also leads on ratings volume (456 vs 4). BBBBurst's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 59%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 4 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BBBBurst sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Manual Camera sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Manual Camera holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Manual Camera has 456 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of BBBBurst's written reviews are positive against 59% of Manual Camera's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

BBBBurst ships an update every 3 days, Manual Camera every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
