The clearest difference is review sentiment: ShutterCount Pro Mobile at 78% against Canon DPP Express's 17%. ShutterCount Pro Mobile also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). Canon DPP Express's advantage is price (Free vs $19.99) and rating (4.6 vs 3.8). On update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Canon DPP Express is free to download; ShutterCount Pro Mobile costs $19.99 up front. Canon DPP Express sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $0.99 per month. ShutterCount Pro Mobile asks for nothing beyond the download.

Canon DPP Express holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Canon DPP Express has 2.8K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 17% of Canon DPP Express's written reviews are positive against 78% of ShutterCount Pro Mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
