# YCamera vs Camo Studio

The clearest difference is rating: Camo Studio at 4.5 against YCamera's 2.0. Camo Studio also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 20%) and ratings volume (2.6K vs 68). YCamera's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Camo Studio holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camo Studio has 2.6K ratings behind it against 68, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 20% of YCamera's written reviews are positive against 51% of Camo Studio's.

YCamera ships an update every 3 weeks, Camo Studio every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
