# Lens vs Lens

The clearest difference is rating: Lens at 4.0 against Lens's 3.0. Lens also leads on ratings volume (141 vs 2) and review sentiment (9% vs 0%). Lens's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, update cadence, 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 Lens sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lens holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lens has 141 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 0% of Lens's written reviews are positive against 9% of Lens's.

Lens ships an update every 3 weeks, Lens fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
