# Lens vs Pro Camera RAW

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pro Camera RAW at 53% against Lens's 0%. Pro Camera RAW also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (684 vs 2). Lens's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lens sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Pro Camera RAW sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Pro Camera RAW has 684 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
