# Focos vs DSLR Camera

Focos and DSLR Camera both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 86% of DSLR Camera's written reviews are positive against 51% of Focos's. Focos's advantage is ratings volume (51K vs 655). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Focos sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and DSLR Camera sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.7 for Focos against 4.6 for DSLR Camera. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Focos has 51K ratings behind it against 655, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 51% of Focos's written reviews are positive against 86% of DSLR Camera's.

Focos ships an update every 2 weeks, DSLR Camera weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
