Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: Focos at free with in-app purchases against Pro Camera with RAW & Focus's subscription. Focos also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.4) and ratings volume (51K vs 4K). Pro Camera with RAW & Focus's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 51%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focos sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Pro Camera with RAW & Focus sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 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 4K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of Focos's written reviews are positive against 63% of Pro Camera with RAW & Focus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Focos ships an update every 2 weeks, Pro Camera with RAW & Focus every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
