# Filter It vs Presets for Lightroom

The clearest difference is ads: Filter It at none against Presets for Lightroom's shown. Filter It also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Presets for Lightroom's advantage is ratings volume (8.2K vs 2). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Filter It sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per month and Presets for Lightroom sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Filter It holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Presets for Lightroom has 8.2K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Filter It ships an update every 6 weeks, Presets for Lightroom every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
